[QUOTE="drkodin, post: 1838383, member: 545032"] i wouldn't be too worried about your alt. With it being a 16yr old car there is a high probability that adding more than say 600W could damage it, but an alt for that car should be pretty cheap as well. If you ruin the alt, oh well because it was probably on its last leg anyway, if you don't then good for you. The Rs sound like a good idea, i'm sure they are easier to get in Germany than most other brands circulating on this forum. Are you willing to build a box yourself for these subs or are you just going to buy a box? I personally think this will be the largest factor on if you go ported or sealed since it is much easier to find a quality sealed box over a ported one. (fyi: ported boxes can sound just as good as sealed boxes if done correctly) As far as output, i don't think you will have any trouble even if you use a sealed box. I believe your car is rather small? If so that is only going to help in output. Plus the Type-Rs can take an easy 500Wrms each, and if you threw a 1000Wrms amp on the pair i doubt you will be able to hear much of your speakers up front. [/QUOTE]
