right now i have a 15" type R in a ported box..dimensions are 24x16x18 (whats that in cu ft?)

its powered by a Lanzar Opti 1400D

Settings are as follows

Gain (1.5/11)

LPF (80)

Subsonic filter (off) goes from 15-40 htz

and bass boost is off

where would this amp sound the best and what could the sub really handle?

people have thrown a 2500d on the typeR daily. Another person ran a XX-Zues (1600rms) to his 15'' R. Are you talking about burp? or daily driving?

myself i wouldnt daily it over 1500rms only because i dont feel to well about putting higher then that on one.

Long term 2500d cant be good for a 500wrms sub

read the type r thread foo!

i wouldnt worry about putting 1300 watts into it...i think my amp is rated at 1300 @ 1 ohm and i have it turned up to 1/11 on the gain and its plenty loud

prolly 1k-1.5k watts

Build a new box first, or stick a 12 in it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Whats it tuned to? Port area?
