What the hell is SPL dust?

I used to have two R10's in my buick regal with a chitty Visonik 1500mono block. THe R's sounded awesome, the amp bit the dust trying to push em.

Would love to have a pair of 12's but I got t5's for now.

I have a Sony 1252GTR amp(800 max/340 rms)

Should I get an alpine type r 12 inch? Or do i not need something so powerful.

You should use a sealed box, IMO, 1-1.25^3 feet per sub.

agreed

Type S might fit the power you have better.
