New member Username: Dcshoepunk007Maryland United States Post Number: 3 Registered: Jan-10 | I recently purchased 2 12" Alpine Dual 4 ohm Type-R Subs. They are just sitting at my house because i dont know what amp to get. I was thinking either a Hifonics, or Rockford Fosgate. I really wanna install the subs but i want to be sure i am getting the right amp. PLEASE HELP |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 872 Registered: Dec-08 | Mmmm RF amp thatll do 1000+ watts for 300 no. Check out sonicelectronix.com. Hifonics are oer rated but will put out power. |

Silver Member Username: DangerangerFredericktown, Ohio United States Post Number: 222 Registered: Mar-09 | you could probably throw the aq1200 into that list as well. never owned one but have heard plenty of good reviews |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 875 Registered: Dec-08 | X2 on adam. Quentin have u run a hifonics? If not shut up. And of the four amps you listed which have you used? I'm running a hifonics under 1ohm and it works great. And its not even solid electrical. |

Gold Member Username: Kingandsons07TEAM NEBRASKA Lincoln,NE Post Number: 1144 Registered: Aug-08 | if i recall the RD1000 was $199 or close to it. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 880 Registered: Dec-08 | I think you did something wrong. My BXi2608d plays great. I've run JL amps, diamond, memphis, RF, clif designs, and many others. The best SQ came from a JL 13.5 and RF500. Just wasn't loud enough. Any way I've personally seen ppl run the AQ1200 and RD1000 and they're very happy. So that's what counts. Plus I wanted to start some shite Quentin so don't get too butt hurtl ol |

Silver Member Username: Wackzirth88K-town, Il U.S. Post Number: 232 Registered: May-09 | Aq 1200 over rd 1000.1 version 2 all day everyday. N yes I have used the rd 1000.1 v2.Not very reliable imo. I switched back to my hifonics which has had zero problems in the past year I've had it until I bought a rd 1000.1 version 1. Love my 1000.1 v1 much higher quality on the version 1 rd amps. I believe andrew capps is sellin a rd 1750 v1 bnib. Don't kno wag he's askin. Jus an Idea n personal input |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 887 Registered: Dec-08 | None of my local shop will bench mine. Or they can't. I'd like to see how it is. I won't deny them being over rated. I just think some ppl like to jump. On the bash wagon too much lol |

New member Username: Dcshoepunk007Maryland United States Post Number: 5 Registered: Jan-10 | Im sure this is probably the stupidest question. Since the subs are dual 4 ohm, how much power is good for the amp to be putting at to it? How much power should the amp put out at 1, 2, and 4 ohms? |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTION, La. Lake Charles... Post Number: 4208 Registered: May-07 | for your subs all four positives (subs voice coils)will be wired to the positive terminal on the amp. Neg's to Neg terminals. |

New member Username: Dcshoepunk007Maryland United States Post Number: 8 Registered: Jan-10 | Thankyou. This helped a lot. I still dont know how much the amp should put at with the dual 4ohm subs. I want the subs to bang as hard as theye can with out blowing them up |

Silver Member Username: DomenicoGlendale, AZ USA Post Number: 300 Registered: Apr-09 | http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42 You have 4ohm subs but you are going to wire them like this ^^ and by doing that it'll be acting as the subs are 1ohm. THEN you find a amp 1000 watt amp that's a 1000 watts at 1ohm.. THEN you'll get your wishes.. "I want the subs to bang as hard as theye can with out blowing them up" ------------- the amp isnt going to put out the power it puts out at 4ohms.. cause you are going to wire the subs to 1OHM. |

Silver Member Username: DomenicoGlendale, AZ USA Post Number: 337 Registered: Apr-09 | Most people say anywhere from 2.0. 2.25 cubes per subwoofer. Aim: AskabouutttmeSON |

Bronze Member Username: Dcshoepunk007Maryland United States Post Number: 11 Registered: Jan-10 | What are the smallest dimensions that i can build the box for the 2 subs? My trunk is real small because i have a spare tire in it. |
|
Silver Member Username: DomenicoGlendale, AZ USA Post Number: 339 Registered: Apr-09 | On the website it says 1.5 cubes for each. tune to 32hz |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTION, La. Lake Charles... Post Number: 4213 Registered: May-07 | 2-2.25/sub worked the best. for the type -r 12's |
