i had a type-r 1222d on a hifonics amp but am now building a box for 2 subs (ported) and selling that sub on ebay because i want to be able to get them down to a one ohm load on my amp. the way i figured it with hifonics pushing 70% of what they claim i will be getting about 420wRMS per sub.

should i....
get two of the type-R's 1242D and spend all that money and still be underpowering them
or....
get 2 different subs for a little chaper that will be evenly matched RMS w/ my amp

if so what subs should i get (2 for cheaper on ebay w/ warany)? they need to be either 2ohm SVC or 4ohm DVC so i can wire it down to one ohm.

i would like somthing that compares well to the type r because it was good . lots of SQL but still come SQ

any thoughts?

I do read alot of product reviews & i think i can safely say Diamond Audio D312D4 is the best brand u have on your list ,2nd i'd say Orion .

U can even do a pair of D612D4 600wrms subs & buy a Kicker/Orion 1200wrms amp later on .....

yea diamond has a 50wat higher RMS but the handleing power is insane for the infinitys so it less risk of blowing them
i think at this point im stuk between the infinity kapa perfect the Diamond Audio D312D4 or after i save a little more money the
Diamond Audio D612D4 buti will be under powering those and if im gonna spend that much should i just get the type-r's?
im lost

Note that the DA D612D4s are optimized for a sealed enclosure. I'll be running two of them with a KX1200.1 at 1 ohm in a sealed enclosure with 1.25 cubic ft. per sub plus 1.5 lbs. of poly-fill per sub.


All of my research and homework in the last 3 months has shown that these are mostly SQ subs. Put them in a sealed box and throw the power to them. LOL. They can be had for $150 or less online.
