ZeroxD Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 What's a amp for one 12 inch type r (just getting into audio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joh17 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 What is your budget? Any amp is good. Just try to match up the power rating of the amp to your sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 There's a lot that will work. is it D2 or D4 voice coils? Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

412 CVX Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 do you already have the subwoofer? because you can get an obsidian 12" for less. it's a better sub too. if you already have the sub is it dual 4 or dual 2 ohm voice coils?

joh17 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Is it dual 2 ohms or dual 4 ohms as 412 asked before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroxD Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Buying the sub soon what's better 2 or 4 I'm guessing 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewbie Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 It doesn't matter which one .. none is better it's either it's the ohm load. There the same, but you need to know this so you know what amplifier to choose to support the ohm load of the sub... it's complex i know.. Text me if you want me to break it down Gunna get off here.

412 CVX Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 neither one is "better" it's all about matching it to your amp. d4 can be wired down to 2 ohms to match a 2 ohm stable amp, or d2 can be wired down to one ohm to mach a one ohm stable amp. before you buy, i'd consider getting this sub instead of the alpine. it will take more power than the type R. just overall a better sub Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.
