with one type r 12 dual 2 ohm on an rf bd 1000 i metered 143.7 on the new termlab. 3.7 cubes roughly 180 square inches of port area

one orion 2500d @ .5 ohms would be **** near pefect for 4 12s

1 R 15 with ~1100w

or

2 R 12 with ~700w each

who would be louder ?

I'm thinking about gettting 2, 2ohm 10"s. Powered by a JBL BP1200.1 @ 2ohms. Think they can handle that? Any ideas on what frequency I need my box tuned for? I want them loud.

Hey guys so i have a TCAB box for my 15" Type R but im wondering about what power to use.. i talked to mark and he said a 15 R can take a xx-herc @ 1 ohm daily because theyres gonna be imp and box rise, etc, whats yours opinions? i might just get a bxi2006D and run that instead since its about 100 or so cheaper

 

[thatkidbob 10+ year member]

get the xx-herc regardless so that you've got plenty of headroom for when you upgrade (and you know you're gonna lol)

personally though, i doubt it can take anywhere near that much power daily.

Sealed or Ported? I putting together a system and I think I'm gonna guy with some R's. I'm tryin to save room and money but I want it sound good so I have question. Would it be louder if I got two 10's and go sealed for like .6-.7 for each sub or go with one 12 ported (Dont know what size it should be or tuning)? If I got two I would probably get a 1000w Hifonics amp to feed em 500 a piece and If I got the 12 I would look for a 700-1000w amp to push it. So two 10's sealed or one 12 ported? I really would like the keep the box under 2 cu ft. total.

Oh yea I listen to all Rap and R&B and the car is 2002 Toyota Solara.

just had a box built for my brand new 15" type R.. Waiting on my hifonics amp and im ready to bump

I quote glock " your sub is prob as big as your rims"

LOL

 

[Jep772 10+ year member]

whats a decent used type r 12" go for around here? i want a smaller sub to use sometimes when i need the trunkspace. can they take 1000w daily?

 

[Ali1 10+ year member]

they go for 100-$130 shipped brand new.....they are known for taking twice their power rating without any problems. As long as you don't introduce clipping and put it in a shitty box, you'll be fine

also forgot to add my trunkspace room i have is about 30" wide, 16" tall, and approx 20" depth, i can go a bit wider if i angle the box to get it in through the opening of the trunk lid
