New member Username: Squatch1009Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08 | i'm kinda new to car audio so i'm a bit confused. i have a Crunch P1100.2 2 channel 1100 Watt Amp. Here are the specs: RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 1100W x 1 RMS Power @ 2 Ohm: 550W x 2 RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 225W x 2 I've decided that I want to get 2 12" Alpine Type Rs, but the whole ohm thing confuses me. Should I get the 2ohm or 4ohm model? I prefer SQ over SPL, but I want them to be decently loud too. I'm also planning to use a sealed box. Help would be greatly appreciated! |

New member Username: Squatch1009Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-08 | why would it only power one type r? wouldn't it put out 550 watts to each sub? sorry if i sound stupid, i'm kinda new to this stuff |

Ahhhh ok. I was lookin' at onlinecarstereo. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9116 Registered: Jul-06 | Yeah if you want to run 2 type Rs you need an amp that does 1500w RMS or more. |
|
New member Username: Squatch1009Post Number: 4 Registered: Dec-08 | whats a good amp that can do that and doesn't cost too much? |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9135 Registered: Jul-06 | There is also the Audioque 1200d for $250 shipped.... and that is brand new |

New member Username: Squatch1009Post Number: 5 Registered: Dec-08 | thanks for the help, I like the Audioque 1200d, seems like it puts out a good amount of power and isn't too expensive. Would I need any electrical upgrades in my car if I got this amp? |

Silver Member Username: DuckaHoughton and/or Macomb, MI United States Post Number: 914 Registered: Jan-08 | So it has the 105amp alt. right? You should be alright. Just upgrade the big 3 and keep an eye on your voltage. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9187 Registered: Jul-06 | Yeah that should probably be ok. |
