The Official Type R Thread

[duckfart 10+ year member]

what ebay sellers and ebay stores do u guys recommend buying the Type R's from ? I dont really want to get them from a cali seller so i dont pay the 8.25 tax.

I dont think a 12" type R could handle 1200w daily, I think the 2 12" at 600w would work very well.

read through the thread, if you know what you are doing its a piece 0 cake.

I would love to, but it would probably take me 5 hours to go through all 150 pages.

Also, I am looking for the T/S parameters for the Type R DVC 4 OHM. I ran a search on this thread for "t/s" but nothing came up.

if i get one SWR-1222D which is 500w RMS.

i need a amp that can do Continuous Power Output @ 1 Ohms: 500 Watt (rms) x 1 right?

or am i wrong?

i really cant stand RE, infact, dave mocked me 2 years ago, and told me MT's cannot be used daily. douchebag.

BUT ANYWAYS.

i suppose the SE would prolly take the SQ trophy, entirely install dependant though.

The R or the SE will be ported tuned to around 28Hz w/ ~580W. It's in a hatch...

You are right, or you could get an amp that would do 500rms at 4 ohms.

thanks alot for the response. this is my current mono amps specs:

Description

The KAC-8151D mono subwoofer amplifier uses its highly-efficient Class-D design to pump out big power from a small package up to 500 watts RMS (at 1 ohm)! Kenwood builds in a variable low-pass crossover, adjustable subsonic filter, and selectable bass boost so this amp can adapt to any bass gig. The KAC-8151D also includes a remote bass boost control, so you can adjust the bump right from the driver's seat.

200 watts x 1 at 4 ohms

400 watts x 1 at 2 ohms

500 watts x 1 at 1 ohm

1-ohm load capability

requires 8-gauge power and ground leads wiring and hardware not included with amplifier

50-200 Hz low-pass crossover, 18 dB/octave

subsonic filter (off/15/ 25 Hz), 18 dB/octave

bass boost (off/6/9/12 dB at 90 Hz) with wired remote

speaker- and preamp-level inputs

preamp outputs

dimensions: 11-7/16"W x 2-5/16"H x 11-1/4"D

Is that perfect if i get only one type-r in a ported enclosure?

Alright fella I am getting some Type R's ,now for a box, is 1.47 cuft big enough to port?

 

[Spkrman]

not even big enough to go sealed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The R's like relatively large boxes.
