i'm debating between a Hifonics BX2005D which does 1300wrms at 2 ohms, and a Soundstream PCA1500D which does 1100wrms at 2 ohms. i am wiring 2 type r's 12" in a series.

any other amps for under $400

New Rs
1242 model = 4ohms DVC
1222 model = 2ohms DVC

make sure u get it right man

kicker/orion 1200D , ed9 , RE 12 - each around $350 shipped & any of these will work fine on a pair of the 1242 .

i'm going 2 sleep ...

sh!t this sh!t's confusing. if i run a 2 ohm load from the amp then that means each sub gets 1 ohm right?

damn rov...u know ur shiz offhand...

rob,

two 4ohm coils of one sub in parallel will equal to 2ohms
then
2 2ohm subs in parallel will equal to 1ohm on the amp...

rovin you're the type r man, how much can these subs take? and where the hell can i find a 1200d or a kicker 1200 for 350 shipped? i can't find them for any cheaper then about 450.

safely 1200wrms -IMO

there r many ppl on this froum u have them on orion 1200d/kicker kx1200 . Ya they may be over 350 shipped.

U can go RE 1200 or ed9 - both does 1200 easily.

if u got this amp u can buy either 2 or 4ohms model & push it comfortably since it does 1200wrms + & functions between a 1-4ohms loads

ya ^ - each would get 600wrms

there was a hifonics bench yested by some1 online & it actually did about 70% rated so if its a budget build then ya but u have 2 get a higher than needed model like maybe a 1905

new models now came out & no1 on this forum has any as yet so we cant say 0 about it ......
