bangintrunk04 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ey wussup, im new to this forum and to car audio in general, but i just have some questions because I don't want to make the same mistake Ive made before. to make a long story short, I got these cheap ass 2 12" spx subs/amp combo at pepboys for $60. I thought it was a great deal at the time and it was my first subs... But they ended up being not much better than my stock speakers. So this time I want to do this right and get some shit that really bangs. :hairtrick: I have done a little research and have found the Alpine Type R's to be the best bang for the buck. Here the links of what I am planning on buying: 2 Alpine type Rs 2 ohm A Hifonics Brutus 1200 watt amp and a Atrend ported box for 2 12's So if you could please answer these questions that I have: Would you reccomend a different amp for the type r's? Is there any other better boxes out there (either ported or sealed, i havn't decided which i want yet)? Is there a better and cheaper site to buy from other than amazon? Will the 2 ohm sub work with the amp? And any other recomendations would be great. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fischy fisch Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 ya sundown is a much better choice and will help your voltage out because the sundowns are more efficient Quote lol. but i haven't and i don't plan on it. plus i'd probably miss and hit her belly button or her ear or something. lol.

bangintrunk04 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 yea, I would love to go with better subs, but right now my budget is very low so I can't really go for those subs and it seems all that I can afford that is pretty decent is the apline type r's.

Build your own ported box or try to find someone local to build one for you. Search around. For a 1ohm stable monoblock amp you will want a pair of dual 4ohm subs.

Build your own ported box or try to find someone local to build one for you. Search around. For a 1ohm stable monoblock amp you will want a pair of dual 4ohm subs. more than 1200 rms to a pair that takes 1000 rms? if he was sure of what he was doing I'd say get a 1610 but he doesn't seem to knowledgeable. the 1210d amp is the better choice just make sure you buy authorized if you want a warranty. i.e. a dealer like me or online only OCS has warranty for hifonics. regardless of what they say anywhere else you do not have a warranty at all. If all you can afford is a prefab then do it for now but build or have built a custom tuned box and those subs will sing for ya'. and definately get the dvc 4 ohm subs.

Ok thanks, so would this wiring diagram work fine if I get the 4 ohm type r's connected to the hifonics 1210d more than 1200 rms to a pair that takes 1000 rms? if he was sure of what he was doing I'd say get a 1610 but he doesn't seem to knowledgeable.the 1210d amp is the better choice just make sure you buy authorized if you want a warranty. i.e. a dealer like me or online only OCS has warranty for hifonics. regardless of what they say anywhere else you do not have a warranty at all.

So how would I figure out what this box is tuned to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 That diagram is not what you need. The Hifonics amp is 1ohm stable. That means all coils need to be wired in parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
