Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 728 Registered: Jan-06 | R's Sound really good sealed to specs. IMO. Although I recently built a ported box and it is much punchier and gets the really deep notes well now and is a good bit louder with less power. But I think I might go back to sealed. As far as the amp I would try to replace it with something better because I dont think sony even makes a amp that is 500+RMS for two subs. I am runing mine with a Ultra Linear 1600.2 amp but I am looking for something better.with more real power. |

Bronze Member Username: Jjfbball13Wayne, Ne USA Post Number: 14 Registered: Mar-06 | its not a bad box, my rockfords pounded in it, but these type r's arent doing what i thought they would, not that they dont hit, its just that they arent what i was expecting. |

Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1295 Registered: Jun-05 | there possibly the best bang for the buck |
Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 730 Registered: Jan-06 | R's are a great starter sub they are more forgiveing than a lot of subs. And They are about the best bang for the buck.IMO How many CuFt is the box? It might be too small for bandpass. |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1297 Registered: Jun-05 | the thing is though bandpass should be loud not quiet so there is omething else wrong there you might want to check your wiring but ya you need a new amp cause it prob putting out almost nothing sony is bad for car audio |

Are your subs 2 or 4 ohm? You might be able to run 1 R with that amp. |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1298 Registered: Jun-05 | oh wow ya def need a new amp the r's are rated at 500 rms right so that amp puts out depending on your coil config it only getting 200-250 which it is a sony so probably only 100-150 lol |
Bronze Member Username: Jjfbball13Wayne, Ne USA Post Number: 15 Registered: Mar-06 | i have the older ones though...the 1241D they are 4ohm dvc...i have a box lined up, sealed 1 cu. ft. per chamber. should be better, and i might get an orion amp, or possibly zapco?? |
Silver Member Username: GagePost Number: 130 Registered: Feb-06 | i have 2 jl 500/1s for sale and i will post pics as soon as i find out how too |
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1301 Registered: Jun-05 | well if you want to go loud build a ported box sealed will make it sound better but ported ive heard is the way to go with type r's and a zapco amp will run u a pretty penny i would go with the orion or kicker something along those lines |
