Bronze Member Username: Samio866Post Number: 22 Registered: Mar-07 | Okay, basically im running a stock little 1995 Honda Accord and I need guidance (LMAO) on what Amplifier to get... so far I have 2 10'' Type R's and a 1000pzi crunch amplifier, and a cheap little 2.5 Farad capacitor... Share the knowledge my friends... (I'm looking to possibly upgrade in the future to atleast 1 15'' speaker like a T2 Rockford Fosgate... that will put an end to my bass needs) |

Try running something like sundown 1000D, if you're tight then get a class D monoblock like hifonics bxi1206d (i know you guys will say crunch=hifonics but no, they're not) instead of a T2, check DD,RD,FI etc. |

Silver Member Username: Hurricanebr1anWestern Burbs of Chicago, IL Usa Post Number: 191 Registered: Sep-07 | you say you need an amplifer, yet...you have one... you want my guidance? stick with what u have and get a custom made ported box. type Rs arent bad budget subs. consider upgrading your alternator and certainly do the Big 3. that amp does "1000"wrms at 1 ohm i believe, so you need to have dual 2 ohm voice coils on the subs to get a 1 ohm load. what is vc configuration? |

Bronze Member Username: Samio866Post Number: 26 Registered: Mar-07 | Okay basically I have a 1000 Watt Crunch amp powering 2 10'' Alpine Type R's in a custom made ported box. The subwoofers are 4 ohm dvc and I wired them to be 2 ohm dvc's using the ALPINE Ohm POS - POS & NEG - NEG thingies. From that I ran 1 major output from the amp into the box and had the positive wire divided to the subs and negative wire divided to the subs... so it should be a 1 Ohm Load on the amplifier. Basically it doesn't really sound as loud and deep as it would in my house amplifier (QSC 2450)... hence I need a stronger amplifier, right? I have 8 Guage Power Wire and I have a 1 FARAD cheap OCS capacitor hooked up... What do I need? |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6740 Registered: Jul-06 | 1. chances are that 1000 watt crunch amp is max ratings....either way, theres no way that amp is putting out a solid 1k, probably not even close 2. get a new amp thats does roughly 1k @ 1 ohm. either amp julio listed will be good plus some more others. 3. type r's are good little subs so they shold be pretty loud with proper power. 4. i would upgrade the 8 gauge wire to 4 gauge or even buy a 2 gauge kit from Paul on here 5. trash the cap, wont help anything 6. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42 make sure you have your subs wired like the top picture there 7. whats the size of the box? tuned to what? 8. are yuor gains set correctly? |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 5003 Registered: Dec-05 | For box designs try talking to Logan, he's always on subs section. I like those subs, but he really needs to change that amp ASAP. |

Bronze Member Username: Samio866Post Number: 27 Registered: Mar-07 | Well the box is good, don't worry about that. It's a custom made TCAB box with a flaired port tuned to 32hz. The subs are wired just like option 1 ( 2 4ohm DVC = 1 ohm load). I will buy a 2 guage kit when I buy the amplifier and trash the capacitor. Basically, this amp is perfect... http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7559_Orion+HCCA-D2400.html Or is there a more cheaper amplifier... 250 or 200 is my budget... kinda. I just lost my job so I need to take it easy money-wise... |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6776 Registered: Jul-06 | that amp will be fine for the type rs.... |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 955 Registered: Nov-06 | Hook the cap up with the polarity reversed. BOOM! Just make sure you don't have it in your car or anything. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Samio866Post Number: 28 Registered: Mar-07 | Is there any other options for amplifier at less $$$? and how much RMS you think two 10'' Type R's can handle...? Alpine rates it 500, but some people say they had 700 to one sub and etc. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3618 Registered: Jul-06 | You will be needing about 1000 watts for 2 Type Rs....... This amp is not the best quality, but it is ok, and I'm pretty sure this is the best decent quality amp at this price: http://cgi.ebay.com/HIFONICS-BRUTUS-BXi1206D-1200W-Mono-Car-Amplifier-Amp_W0QQit emZ220166839062QQihZ012QQcategoryZ64570QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem $220 |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3619 Registered: Jul-06 | BTW that amp is a bit overrated so they claim 1200 but it will do about 1000 watts. |

Bronze Member Username: Samio866Post Number: 30 Registered: Mar-07 | Thanks, I will be buying a Hifonics Brutus Amplifier by time next week. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6788 Registered: Jul-06 | its a pretty nice amp for the price....ive got one right now and have had zero problems with it.... |
