ccmotox99 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 So I just bought two Rockford Fosgate R2-D2 12 inch subs for my car and got all the wiring and everything. ---- I currently have them running in a ported box on a BOSS AR1500M that I got for 64 bucks just to get my system working till I can get a better amp. ---- They don't hit very hard...I think the amp is probably only pushing around 300-400 watts maybe? I'm wired down to 2 ohms. ---- It also could be the box? (got it free) My box is hugggee. Its ported and the port fires upwards and so do the subs. (on the top of the box)--- They kind of have a thumpy sound to them too. I think I have way too much air space... --- I think I am just underpowering them though maybe? --- Would this amp work if I were to just turn the gain to the point of distortion? Would I risk blowing the subs? It puts out true 950 watts at 2 ohms and my subs are rated at 250 rms a piece and 500 peak watts. http://www.audiopipe.com/products/amplifiers/ap/ap-15001d.html --- Would there be a better amp in that price range, maybe by them, that will put out the max watts my subs will take safely without blowing? Could it also be my box? --- THANKS GUYS.--- If it's a boss amp, it peaks at 300-400 watts LOL. Throw that amp in the trash and invest in something new. soundqubed q-1200 would tear those little turds up -playing with different setups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranny Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 oopsie, i didn't. there is nothing good in that price range though LOL. for that power, at least. your RF amp is a good choice. although if someone is selling an aq750 on here for cheap, then i'd snatch that up if i were OP.

teamace24 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 The problem could be the box. It can definitely affect the way your subs are sounding since they are low powered subs and 300 watts to them should get them moving. Post a picture of that box and also the settings on the amplifier you made. The audiopipe ap 1500 will definitely give you the power you need but im sure that the box is the problem. Too big of volume will make it sound lower, i know, i heard an l7 12 in like 4 cubes sealed almost and it hit better in 2 cubes by a long shot and had a weird bass/sound coming out of it.

Kyblack76 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 The problem first that nobody touched on i guess is the box.

"It's probably your box." Its in the first damn post. But thank you..
