Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 279 Registered: Nov-07 | i was gonna go with two audiobahn a8000t's(800 rms actual output, got a good deal on em too... )...but then i decided on different subs i was told this would be about as much as you should put to type r's(800 rms a piece) |
|
Bronze Member Username: Alpine_playerVilla rica, Georgia United States Post Number: 12 Registered: Feb-08 | yea thats a shitload of rms per sub but hell yea......... |
|
Gold Member Username: JnoelAIM= j69noel, KY Post Number: 1036 Registered: May-07 | ^ you were told wrong wytee |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 353 Registered: Oct-07 | yeah people have put like 1000 on one type r ive heard. |
|
Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 280 Registered: Nov-07 | well, i think it was more like a "most ppl don't put more than this to em" than a "that's the max rms to put on em"...but either way, going with a different setup anyways. ^ @ j noel |

Post Number: 1229 Registered: Jun-07 | use the money you saved and have woodlawn cabintery make you a custom box to the specs of the sub. the box makes all the difference man. you could have the best subs but if your box sucks your subs dont mean sh*t. dont buy a box off ebay haha |

|
Gold Member Username: Spivey17323Dunellen, New jersey 15 inch Alph... Post Number: 1230 Registered: Jun-07 | dont put that much on the r. they get pleanty loud for you with 500 each. trust me i had em. if this is your first system you dont wanna put that much over the rms on your subs because chances are you'll mess em up. if i were you i would put like 600-700 rms each to em. |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 357 Registered: Oct-07 | yeah usually the people puttin 1000 on a type r know what they are doing. |
|
Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 283 Registered: Nov-07 | ^^^"what you gettin then" @ me snow? i'm gettin two 12" re se's |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 360 Registered: Oct-07 | yeah. those are nice subs. but whyd you get two of those audiobahn amps. instead of just getting one amp and a better brand. |
|
Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 285 Registered: Nov-07 | i got the 2 a8000t's for $170 from dwight...couldn't pass it up i guess. i know they're not the BEST amps, but they'll work, it's only my second system so i'll upgrade eventually |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1008 Registered: May-07 | If your vehicle doesnt have a volt meter, I would seriously get one. Thats alot of power on a stock electrical (assuming you have no electrical upgrades). What kind of vehicle is this going into? |
|
Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 287 Registered: Nov-07 | not sure if you're talkin to me now or to gunner...seeing as this is/was his thread, lol. sorry if i just jacked ur thread gunner well if you ARE talking to me...'98 jetta, vr6. no volt meter yet, already looking at getting one, and stock electrical so far(well, interstate batt, came with car) |
|
Bronze Member Username: Alpine_playerVilla rica, Georgia United States Post Number: 20 Registered: Feb-08 | naw its straight ......he is prob talkin to you anyway........u lookin to pull more power than me anyways..............but it dont matter.......i got wat i needed |
|
Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1009 Registered: May-07 | lol I was talking to gunner. |
|
Silver Member Username: SpankinurwoofersGR, MI US Post Number: 288 Registered: Nov-07 | lol, oops...my bad then  |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1011 Registered: May-07 | Repen, I would recommend getting a volt meter if you car doesnt have on already. 1200+ watts is a good strain on stock electrical. If you pull too much power and dont know it, you could easily fry an amp. Also, consider what josh said about a box. A sub is only as good as the box it goes into. A good custom box can be 3x as loud as a bad box. |

Bronze Member Username: Alpine_playerVilla rica, Georgia United States Post Number: 29 Registered: Feb-08 | yea i alrady kno that a bout the box but wat exactly is a volt meter?....... |

Silver Member Username: Hurricanebr1anWestern Burbs of Chicago, IL Usa Post Number: 344 Registered: Sep-07 | what vehicle do you have repen/gunner? And getting a custom enclosure will cost you, but be worth it. And a Type R that gets 500wmrs vs. 700wmrs wont be that noticable. But it will increase your chance of it being blown. I recommend FisherCustoms for the box...$160 for 3.5 cubes (thats what ctmike recommended). http://fishercustoms.com/ |
