Robert8252 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 The Rs "might" be louder but I don't think they would even start to like that power daily and I'm hoping you have some really good electrical to power the amp? But I would definately do the lvl 5 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12 Type R's can be given .7 to 1.0 for sealed, and 1.7 each vented. EDIT: Well I didn't really take into consideration all of the displacements for the level 5, but then again I hear smaller boxes handle better? I dunno Warning, you are taking advice from a noob with 0 install experience at this point, any advice I give is strictly based on information gathered via the intrawebz and lots of forum surfing over a period of 2 months If you are considering buying a DC Level 5, do it. Don't think about it, just do it. It'll work. go to lowes get bricks wait in yard. throw said brick at vehicle. If thats me and that just happened to me Im going looking for him after that. 1. Goto lowes 2. Get some bricks 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!! Profit from everything. LOVE ideas like this. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 As long as the gains are set correctly and the enclosure is built to the power, I've overpowered type rs many times without issue. And even though you're not going to see .5 ohm, why would you even want to wire that low for a daily setup? Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

And even though you're not going to see .5 ohm, why would you even want to wire that low for a daily setup? x2 I've seen Rs take power before but your electrical better be awesome to handle .5 ohm (even theoretically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 type r's. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

Playa Named Joe Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Type Rs, more cone area. Might have to have the gain down a little. 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toady Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I've had my Type R's on a little over 2K Daily, Handled it like a champ, just make sure to set your gains correctly and have proper electrical. This is just what i've heard, the DTR 3400.1's are power HUNGRY and will do that much power 14.4V and over. If i were you, I would either go with the DC At A more reasonable ohm load for daily, or Wire the type r's for a higher daily impedance. Dont get me wrong you can have .5 ohm load if you want, its just gonna rape your electrical pretty bad if its not bulky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
