hey guys hows it goin? had a couple questions figured you guys could help me out. i know a little about systems i know how to install everything its just the breaking down the "science" of it with the ohms and sub/amp matching. im lookin for a system no competition status but something that will hit pretty hard and sound good but not to hard. i have a chance to get an alpine type r 12" sub and an alpine v12 amp with it for about 300 bucks total. how hard should it hit? would it be worth it? your opinions??? thanks guys

 

R's can get loud. it all really depends on the install.

I know a guy hitting 151 on 1 type R.

If you do a BIG ported box tuned fairly high you should get good results.

we're lookin at 2+ cu ft for the woofer. How much power is the amp putting out? R's really start to shine after about 600 watts from what I've seen

 

heres links to the amps specs and subs specs. thanks again for the help.

V12 AMP
Type R 12 sub

 

**** drop that to 2 ohms.

700 watts to the R will do nicely.

 

how do i drop it to 2 ohms? i know im a noob at this. i also have two infinity 6800cs component sets(four mids, four tweeters, four crossovers) i was thinkin about putting in when i do this. the mids are 5x7's though. would these be good goin with this set up? what would be a good amp for my components? im going to be making my own door panels when i re do my interior thats why i didnt really care about the 5x7's but id rather have 6 1/2's for the set up.heres the specs on the component sets.

* Size: 5 x 7
* Sensitivity: 92 dB
* Frequency Response: 49-21,000 Hz
* Recommended RMS Power: 90W
* Peak Power Handling: 270W
* Impedance: 4 ohms

 

any 4 channel with a decent name company will do.

200 watts would do. as for wiring ur R to 2 ohms

 

that picture has a dual 4ohm sub. my type r is dual 2 ohm. but essentially thats just how i wire it up?

 

I have two 04' R's on 550 watts and they slam and sound great. rattles my windows, and i can jump a penny at least 2"s on my roof. V12 amps sound great too, hits every note.

 

Ah crap dual 2. u can only wire to 1 ohm and 4 ohms.

 

so would i be better off gettin a 1ohm amp? only because at 4ohms i wouldnt be getting that much power? or am i wrong?
