i want to run two 15 inch type-r subwoofers and i was wondering if a ma audio hk4000d would be to big for them??

i disagree.

that amp wont put out shit on the stock electrical i bet he will have. and my buddy had 1 12" on a 2kw+ rms amp and it never got stinky. was run daily off that power. gains were not set conservatively either. were set with -6db test tones as me and my buddy do with all our systems.

so considering all this AND impedance rise id say its safe. but then again, im also going to assume hes a new guy to CA and it might not be a good idea for someone who's inexperienced and wont notice that hes clipping his subs to death.

bullshit I blew a 15 Inch Type R of 1500 watts rms in about 2 weeks, I like the type r's they got loud but I rather get something else that can handle the power good, 2.5 voice coil and 750 rms ftl, I cant complain because i was running double the rated rms though

lol, you can call bullshit all you want. its been proven the sub can handle that power. 2+krms amp on a 12" type r, gains set by dmm with a -6db test tone to 2k. never smelled, never cooked.

even better is the fact that the 12" has an even smaller than the 15, you blew. clean signals are a good thing...

i will back this up. had a bxi2006d @ 1ohm on a 12'' R daily for a while...no problems.

i burp my 12'' R right now with 2 bxi2607d @ .5 ohms (3800+ watts actual power) each...no problems.

daily for a 15'' R i wouldn't throw more than a 2500 watt amp on it. this is not accounting for reactive rise. and the box should be no larger than 3.5cubes. yes you can blow it off 2500 watts, but with gains set correct, it won't be blown.

and those are the facts. i've been through enough type R's to know my ways around them

exactly my point. if you blow a type R off a 2kw amp, especially the 15" you got a problem.

yes we put a 2kw+ amp on the 12", but the fact is your not seeing anywhere near that, and when you are it isnt for very long times at all, due to box rise.

i see people all the time claiming "this sub is rated @ 1500w. i put a 1700w amp on it and blew it. this woofer definatly wont like over 1500w" when in actuality...after box rise you were barley touching 1000w, and simply clipped it to death.

im not that new to the game i already have the big 3 and a H/O Alt. i wanted to get a optima but i plan on upgrading the system first...i seen one guy post that the box shouldnt be over 3.0 cb ft?? how big should the box be for two 15s? and what is a safe size cheaper amp (not more then $500)??

thanks for all the help
