I had two Type R 15's before the system that I have built up now. Cracked my back windshield seal on my aroura. The lows are phenominal with the 15's of course. 12's are all around good though and 4 12" R's would straight fu(king pound! Good question..Either one really.
"i say 4 12's if you give them atleast 3 k maybe 4"
IMO you dont need to run that much. Although type Rs can handle quite a bit of power, theres really no need to throw that much at um. Give them a solid 2k rms and youll be more than happy.
so jake ud go with 4 12's huh? ok wel now it sgetting a custom box to fit inside the trunk of a 1997 grand prix gt. do u think thatl be posssible? i know it can be. but 2 15's? wudnt they get lower? and if i got a box built for the 4 12's shuld i go seperate boxes for each sub , or go with 1 whoel box? cuz i am thinking right now how the hell wuld i get a bog box in my trunk.. idk if it wil work. let me know if any1 knows
I never said id run the 4 type R 12s... and now that i know you have a car i def. would not do it. You would be better off getting 2 powerful 12s or 1 powerful 15. Type Rs are nice but they can only do so much.
ok then imthinking 2 15's. but "jake papa" can i get 2 powerefull 12's that cost 300 for both and wil do better than the r's? i wana be hitting atleast 145 with my new setup. and who knows of 2 15's for around lets say 450 that wil get real low and outperform 2 r's by far?? but keep it in the 400 range
im looking at 2 15" fi bl'a but there a lil over the price. but why can u only gte them in 1 and 2 ohm? an dif u get 2 it sais 1.5 voice coils i thinkk... and if i were to get 2 of them wuld they be abel to be wired into 1 ohm? wut else is better or has better sq? for the same price or less?
I would think that would be pretty hard to fit 4 12''s in a trunk car. Its not always the best thing to fit the biggest box in your trunk, your trapping it all back there when you do that. If that happens you may hear the rattles more than the bass.

x2... a solid 2000rms will be awesome. one 12" can get loud on just a couple hundred watts. an alpine on 500rms is more than enough bass for alot of people, maybe not some of us on ecoustics, mainly those people that work in the crappy car audio shops we talk about, but anyway, multiply that by four and your rocking...
wel 4 12's in my car would be hard to put a descent box in there. so i think im gunna go with 2 15's. either fi bl's or sumthing diff but just as good. i just never looked into 15's so i have no clue whats good. for 15's. ive only heard 1 pairof 15's in my life 2 15's mtx 7500 on 2 801d mtx amps in a fiberglass box in an explorer. it hit 141.8 at the comp . wel that just isn't loud enough for me i want atleast 145- 148. wish to get 150 but i hear thats so hard to get. wel idk im gunna look into teh 4 12's but id have to go sealed. and it would be subs facing up. and if i went 2 15's it'd be facing up too with port firing forward. wel i think in my car the trunk wil rattle like crazy with the 4 12's. since theyl be facing up. but how wil the r's sound sealed ? i wish i culd get it ported but i guarantee i don't have enough room to get the box the right dimensions for the recomended space.
the cuft require for 2 12s OR 1 15 is very close but 2 12s sub displacement & port displacement should be more than 1 15 but do check it to make sure cause it doesnt make sense trying to force more woofers in incorrect volume\tuning ....
yes i know. but i just think 4 12's selaed would be loud as f..ck. but i am pretty sure if i got it ported with teh 4 12's it wouldnt work cuz for a ported box it'd have to be pretty big box and i knwo that wouldnt fit so id have to go sealed. but idk what to do teh 12's or 15's..
id go with the 2 15's, if your only looking for extremely loud bass for rap techno etc then go with a ported box and the 15's seeing as how A) you dont exactally have an extremely large amount of room and most likly would be pushing it with the 4 12's packed into a custom box.... but if your looking for some good tight bass, not nearly as loud but a tighter flow for rock and whatever then i guess attempt the 4 12s....or you could just do 3 insted of pushing your luck
hmm wel i don tliek teh odd number stuff. but i thinnk if i go 3 r's with a custom box thatd be pretty sweet ported. but wuld that be louder sincwe it has more cone area then the 2 15's? and how would i wire that down to 1 ohm? or maybe 4 10's? would that be nice in a ported box? i want sh.t to get low an dloud and clean..
