i just want to run one 15 not two so your saying running this amp at 1ohm 1200watts will not blow my sub by the way i want to port this subwoofer thanks for any advice

Well where are you ordering your type r's from? I think Im gonna order mine from ikesound.com for $105 a piece. Thats the cheapest i have found them so far.

Ikesound is a solid choice but there are several reliable ebay sellers who are slightly cheaper overall. Their shipping is kinda ridiculous( approximately $30) but you can get one for around $90...grand total of $120. Like I said, "slightly" cheaper.

I'm not completely happy with my AA Atlas 12 so I've been looking at the '05 Type-R 12's. It's either a Type-R right now(and a bigger amp) or wait several months until AA comes out with their wider array of subs.

I'm seriously thinking about making a move on the Type-R.

Because its a new redesigned sub and they overbuilt it. Think of it this way. People who dont know that the Type R can take beyond its RMS will push it with their RMS and the R will never fail so it will be considered to be indestructable and durable

if you do the L715, do 3.0 ported, tuned to 33-34hz. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Well that makes sense, but at the RMS rated power, it still should perform quite well, shouldnt it?

well I finally got around to building a straight up SQ box for the Type R's (customer's box)... and oh man they sound superb in the right box... it reminded me of a few w7 setups I have heard, only the 2 R 12's were alot louder lol.

The 1500d will put out around 12-1300wrms. there wont be much of a difference from 1200 to 1500wrms. If he can get the directed for a lot cheaper than some 1500w amp, I would suggest the directed.

with it wired to its lowest rec'd impedence... expect no more than 600-700 watts. This is of course true with most any 1200 wattish amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The directed is crazzzy cheap.. pretty dam good deal.

just kidding, anyway, I still vote T1, I feel the quality of the new subs are very good,

 

I wish I could play with a t2 somemore

Did you ever consider a pair of Type R 12s instead of three 10s?

My vote goes to a pair of Type R 12s.

 

[Trancer 10+ year member]

What the f*ck are you talking about? Just feed the Type R's 600 watts, they'll be fine. Some folks feed 1,200 daily on one and they have no problems.
