what kind of amp should i buy to support two 12 diamond 1200watt subs and alpine type r speakers. i have an old crapy amp right now that is just not getting the job done. feedback please

 

so r u looking for a 5 channel amp? or or are u just amping a pair of type r's? if ur amping 4 speakers and those subs id recomend a kicker 700.5 depending on the ohm load of those subs. everyone is going to have their own opion though. you should go to different shops and listen to amps.

 

I've heard from many people that type R speakers sound sweet powered by a higher end alpine amp, I'd prolly power the speakersand subs seperately and get a capacitor for the sub amp; it can be easier to wire it all if you keep the 2 or 4 channel speaker amp for the type Rs under the dash or a front seat. And then just mount the sub amp on the box depending on what kind of box ur using.

I've got a pair of 6+1/2" 2-way Type Rs in the back of my '02 Si, with the stock components still in the front it all sounds sweet just running off my Premiere deck. (I've got another pair of type Rs I kept out of my last vechicle, but I haven't bothered trying to pull the whole door out to see if they'll fit yet.)

Sounds like you'll have a truly "silly-pants" amount of bass if you power those subs sufficiently! (no offense intended)

I'm with you on the crappy old amp situation tho, I've got an ancient Rockford Fosgate box under my hatch (2x 10" punch on a puny bridged 100W amp; sealed box). It's not loud but it fills the car suprisingly well without rattling anything!I'm planning on upgrading to an old single 10" solobaric as soon as I find a box and an amp for it...

 

are your subs D6s, if so your gonna want about 600 watts a piece..if there D9s iv'e run 1800 watts on a single 12 and it loved it.

 

im not sure what they are but i know the watt. i got them for free so im gonna love it no matter what lol.

 

is the cone black or grey

 

grey 12 inch

 

I have two D1 12's 4 ohms pushed by a D3 600.1 and they sound great.

 

should i up grade the wires in my car?

 

i have a big kicker 850.4 in one of my cars and i am still using the factory wires.. door boots is what stopping me.
