Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 171 Registered: May-06 | What about this amp for powering two Type R DVC 4 ohm |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 814 Registered: Feb-06 | it'll be fine |
|
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 884 Registered: Jan-05 | No, that amp is not 1 ohm stable. If you can get Type R DVC 2 ohm, that would work. You need a 1000-1200 watt class d mono amp. A pair of the mrd m605 would work. |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 815 Registered: Feb-06 | good catch, i must've been thinking of something else on that one. yeah a pair of the m605 will work great, or even a pair of the 1005 if you really want to push them. but which ever you choose don't forget to upgrade your alt. and everything. |
|
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 885 Registered: Jan-05 | Two DVC 4 ohm subs = 1 ohm parallel/parallel, 4 ohms series/parallel, and 16 ohms series/series. he needs a 1 ohm stable amp that puts out 1000 watts. OR an amp that puts out 1000 watts at 4 ohms. That alpine puts out 1000 at 2 ohms. |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 173 Registered: May-06 | nick, will a pair of that amp, you suggested, put more load on the alt? |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 816 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah |
|
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 886 Registered: Jan-05 | maybe an extra 20 amps. 120 amps instead of 100 amps. If you can get diamond audio in your area then try to find a D61000.1. 1000 watts rms @ 1 ohm. Or MTX TA91002. 500 watts x 2 @ 2ohms. |

Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 181 Registered: Jan-06 | for something that small you dont need to upgrade your alternator just add an extra battery and a 3 farad Cap as the cap does not help your power system but it does help your amp get direct power at bass bursts and get this amp http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=269 |

|
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 887 Registered: Jan-05 | That amp(kx1200.1) will put a big burden on his electrical system. It also puts out up to 1400 watts. That could damage those type R's. I think he also has to buy locally, b/c shipping is very exspensive. That amp is very exspensive locally. I said two alpine mrd m605's would work, but that would put a large load on the alt too. I would just stick 1000 watts and no more. What type of car do you drive Aman? Some cars have small stock alts. Mine was 120 amp stock which is on the large side. some are as small as 60 amps. |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 817 Registered: Feb-06 | so you wouldn't upgrade the alt. while running a 1200wrms amp cause it's to small, but you would suggest getting a cap. which adds an extra strain to the alt.? and an extra battery? maybe upgrade the battery but for "something that small" why would he need 2 batteries? and by the way, a 3 farad cap. would be a waste, it's 1 farad for every 1000wrms., so 1.5 would be plenty. and yeah that kickers' a great amp, i had the same one on my old r's, but without a big enough alt. he wont see the full power it puts out. |
|
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 888 Registered: Jan-05 | no, the m1001 is 1000 watts at 2 ohms not 1. |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 175 Registered: May-06 | Actually, I have an amplifier. ITs a Hifonics Brutus 1000d. Someone said it produces only 75% of rated power. Thats why I am afraid of making and playing the subs underpowered I've uploaded a pic of my car, I dont know abt its alt ratings, may be you can get an idea about that. Its a Skoda Octavia  aid |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 176 Registered: May-06 | Also, I've to buy an amp from ebay usa. Bcoz, in India, only amps from Kenwood, Sony and alpine are available. So tell me if any other brans can pound the r's |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 177 Registered: May-06 | Also, pioneer |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 818 Registered: Feb-06 | i'd look for a kicker on ebay, but if you buy locally stick with the alpines'. but you could get a bigger hifonics on ebay that'll work, just look for one that'll put out about 1200-1400w @ 1ohm. |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 178 Registered: May-06 | ctmike, I tried but couldnt get one between my price range, i.e. $300 shipped. Can you Please |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 819 Registered: Feb-06 | couldn't get which one, hifonics or kicker, or just any amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 179 Registered: May-06 | well, I need a reliable amp for powering the type r's pair properly in between $300 shipped. |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 821 Registered: Feb-06 | with that budget definately look for a hifonics. just try the amp you have now, if you don't like it sell it and use that extra $ for a bigger amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 180 Registered: May-06 | wat abt fusion amp? |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 181 Registered: May-06 | actually mike, it was bought on ebay and I havent paid yet. I don't want toake risk of buying that amp. Because resale will be difficult as no one in India know abt these brands. |
|
Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bWeddington, Nc Usa Post Number: 889 Registered: Jan-05 | http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductReview.aspx?ProductID=14965 Can you order that. If so it will be perfect. 1000 watts, 250 + shipping. Great amp. High quality. |
|
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 823 Registered: Feb-06 | good amp^^^ or if you stick with ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HIFONICS-BRUTUS-BX1500D-SUBWOOFER-AMP-AMPLIFIER_W0QQitem Z9738856102QQihZ008QQcategoryZ18797QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem also noticed a bunch of hifonics 1600 amps that only ship to the u.s., but maybe you could work out a deal with the seller and pay a little extra for the shipping. |
|

|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 186 Registered: May-06 | Hi JC, I am from Punjab, North India |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 353 Registered: Jun-05 | Thats cool my parents are from around there. |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 355 Registered: Jun-05 | alos as to your question, ^^^ nicks choice is excellent in my opinion |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 187 Registered: May-06 | I am going to buy Hifonics 1500D, wat about that? |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 188 Registered: May-06 | from where ur parents are? |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 357 Registered: Jun-05 | Thats a pretty good amp, but I can't get around the quality of MB Quart. I've helped a few ppl install those amps and they've never had problems with them and since you live in India it could be difficult to send for repairs or warranties if you have problems with lower quality amps. Best to spend a little more to get that quality. Thats why I would try to stick with high quality amps, not saying hifonics is low quality I just feel its not as good. My parents are also from Punjab, we could all be heading up there next month for summer break, to meet family. |
|
Silver Member Username: Aman2005Post Number: 189 Registered: May-06 | Tell me about the Hifonics, will it be a smart decision to buy a 1500D amp? Will it stay working for a resonable long time?? |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 358 Registered: Jun-05 | It should stay I don't have too much experieince with them, I was just comparing the quality to MB. If you can get a good deal that yea go for it. And the amp should keep working as long as you don't go crazy with the settings and boost it all to the max. Alos don't attach the amp to the box and everything should work out fine. |
