? about subs

[MAH3]

Im looking to put in 4 12 alpine type r. Should i go with the 2 ohm or 4 ohm im gonna parallel them. im use 2 the sealed boxes just cause i like the deeper base but what kind of box would b best?

sealed boxes giving "deeper" base is a myth.. and what amp do you plan to run them off of?

[sprkn_ranger]

Lol...can I haz sum??

What kind of car are you puting them in? You probably be happier with a ported box unless you don't have the room for the extra space. And yea what kind of amp?

Go ported or go home (unless you don't have the space or something)

If you are using a 1 ohm stable amp, get the dual 2 ohm coils

There going in either an old school regal or caprice so room isnt a issue. As far as the amps I don't know that many brands that run the .5 ohm and I know there r tons of 1 ohm amps. Do u guys have any suggestions on amps

if you get 4 dvc 2 ohm subs, then you can wire to 1 ohm.

if you get 4 dvc 4 ohm subs, you can wire to 2 ohm.

You need to find a 1ohm stable amp.

One that does about 3500W, like the audioque 3500.

If the amp is cheaper then 350 dollar it's not going to do 3000W except if going second hand.

I doubt you want to do electrical upgrades(putting in a HO alt and a big battery in the back) so go for 2 12's in a PROPER ported box and use a 1500W amp.
