hey yall, thanks for you oppinions and input first of all.

i am trying to make my system have as much sq as possible.

i have a choice of 2 15inch alpine type-r's dual 2 ohm or 1 12w7 to put in my car.

which one should i put in for the most effect? of course i want it to be loud, but i also want it to be crisp and tight.

which kind of box would be best with each sub too? f.y.i. l be building it.

i have 2 amps also to choose from
audiobahn a1300hct
or
Phoenix Gold Octane-R 15.0:1

also is 4 ga wiring appropiate for this setup or do i need to go down to 0/1?

I would go with the w7 ten times before I put in two type r's. Dont get me wrong I have worked with the type R's and they are a good sub but if SQ is what you want go with the w7. I would put it in a sealed enclosure if you are building it. If you end up buying one I have heard great things about the snailshell's. I would stay away from the Audiobahn and go with the Phoenix gold but thats my opinion. 4 guage should be fine but I would run 2 guage.

I agree with james. The w7 will be your best choice. It gets a little pricy but it's worth it. Go with the phoenix gold and 4 gauge would be ok. You wouldn't have to go all the way to 0/1 though. 2 gauge would be nice if you wanna spend a little more.

thanks everyone. infact i already have the w7 and the type r's so it was just a choice of which ones to put in and which ones to sell!

i really appreciate your input and i'l check out that snailshell encosure.
2 gauge sounds nice to me!
one more question though. since i'm running 1000-1500 watts to the w7, what kind of cap or bat should i use?
