Some questions

[chefsanta]

I just bought 2 12" Alpine Type R's on craigslist (4 ohm). Wasn't sure what to buy, but got both in perfect condition for $100 total. I also bought a Hifonics Zeus ZXI 1308 25th Anniversary Edition. I am wondering how well the amp will power those subs.

= * Zues 2 Channel 1300W RMS Amplifier

* 2 x 325 @ 4 OHMS

* 2 x 650 @ 2 OHMS

* 1 x 1300 @ 4 OHMS

Also need to get an enclosure, and I don't really have too much money left to spend. I have the option to get

for $25. They sell that same one at best buy i'm not too sure of the quality.

also someone selling

that one is $100.

I know the case is important so I am not sure. I am trying to set everything up tonight and those 2 are both local from craigslist. Any recommendations is helpful and if I have to wait a few days and order one online that would be better, I guess I could.

Thanks

I would get the second box until you could get a custom built one for your subs

So, you're suggesting that he should waste $100 on a temporary enclosure?

Bad advice, bro...

I guess I'll just buy the $25 box for the moment. It's only $25 and I'll just get something else soon. I really don't have the tools or knowledge to build my own box either.

If you are willing to spend $100.00 then I would suggest the following for the type-r's. I had a single 10 type-r in one of these boxes (single 10" box 1.25) and it did great. My box for the 10 was tuned around 37 and the R seemed to like it alot.
