They are DVC at 2 ohms running at 500W rms and 1500 peak each. Also, are each of my subs receiving 500W from the amp or is it cut in half to 250W? |

I found one at best buy that had two type Rs in it and it sounded real good. It was made by Fierce Audio. I want my car to be heard from the outside, I got a cadillac deville. |

Once you get them on the full power will want them in the sealed box or a Good custom(built to specs)_ ported enclosure. ~3.50^3ft after displacements tuned to ~34-35 hz. The Ported box is the way I would go. Make sure you trust your box builder to really know what they are doing. A lot of pretend professional Box builders locally. Look at Fisher customs on the internet. He can build with the best of them and prices are great. He knows Type-R's inside and out as well. They are fairly common. http://fishercustoms.com/ Tell him eCoustics sent you. You still need to get more power to fully wake up the R's. And with his box, you should be happy. The are a great value SPL sub. And don't sound bad. Even in a trunk car you should get over 142+ db's fairly easily. |

The end result is much better and it is designed for your application. You would probably want around 4 cubes tuned to about 35 hz. As said before you want about 1000wrms at 2 or 1/2 ohms. A Kicker 1000 monoblock would work well. But I'm sure you can find something cheaper depending on the budget. |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 3084 Registered: May-07 | lol... yup. that would work so long as it fits your trunk... I would call before you buy the box plans to assure it will fit. If you get the plans, who will build it? I can make a design for you if you send me you max dimentions. Free of charge of course. Unless you want me to send you bass box pro 6 to read the bbp6 file, I will have to send screen shots of the plans. call me asap if you can.. 337-438-2957. will talk about it. good luck |
