well the 1200d is $360, and for $60 more bucks i can get the 2500d.

so i shouldn't use the 2500d with type-r's?

so what subs should i use with the 2500d?

might as well upgrade the subs, when I can get the extra 1300watts for $60.

it's for a ext. cab chevy, too.

i cant really afford the extra cost of the type-x subs, but at only $60 more, why not get the 2500D?

it wont ruin my subs will it?

the subs rms is 1000 for a pair, 500 per sub

so if i had my amp wired at 4ohms, thats 1200wattrms, giving out 600 per sub wouldn't that work?

yea man it's brand new. i heard it retails for like $1599.

but yea i guess im gonna go ahead and order the amp and subs

im not gonna be playing the thing full blast all the time just when im showing it to friends or somethin but i dont know much about car audio so i dont know if they are still getting 600watts even when the volume isn't up high?
