Archive for the ‘competition subwoofers’ Category
I just picked up 2 Alpine Type R DVC 10" 4ohm woofers. 750 rms, 1500 watt peak power. I am looking for an amplifier to not max the speakers out but have enough power to use them to their full potential. Where I am not sure is if I need a 2 channel amplifier or a mono amp. Any recomendations on total power to push through them, etc…. This is not for a competition install just looking to have the bass if I need it. I have been out of the car stereo community for a long time and am starting from scratch with all these new products. Thank you in advance for the help.
I stand corrected, i was assuming since they are 1500 peak the rms was half but i just checked and they are 500rms.
Well unless they changed the Type Rs, the RMS is actually 500W. If they have changed it, find a 1500W @ 1ohm amp. If they haven’t, 1000W @ 1 ohm. That will use them to their loudest without ever damaging them.
You can get either a 2ch or a mono, but a mono is made for subs.
If you want less power, you can go as low as you want. The speakers will work just fine with less watts, it’ll just be quieter (there’s a myth about underpowering going around it’s stupid…)

This is not a system that is being created for competition reasons or any other reasons of that sort. This is a system for a everyday car and is hopefully going to create pretty good sound quality in the car. I am wanting to put 2 1" Lanzar tweeters up on the dash. The tweeters will have around 62 watts rms going to each of them and will receive frequencies between 3000 and 20000 hz. I will be putting 4 Audiobahn ABC5002V 5.25" speakers and I will be throwing out the tweeters and crossovers that come with that. The speakers will be receiving 50 watts rms a piece and the front speakers will receive frequencies between 250 and 3000 hz while the rear speakers receive frequencies between 100 and 250 hz. Finally I am wanting to install 2 Pioneer TS-W252R 10" subwoofers that will be ported to recommended specifications. Each subwoofer will receive around 62 watts rms just like each tweeter and they will receive frequencies between 20 and 100 hz. I will be tuning the system with a Lanzar OPTIX10 crossover.
My receiver will also be a Kenwood KDC-MP142. Something cheap but will still play my ipod.
I figure that this system will cost around $1000 or so and right now that’s about all I can give.
it would sound pretty good. you might want to run the tweeters on a little bit less power. tweeters don’t need much power at all.
and you might want to increase the amount of power to the subwoofers.
I personally wouldn’t use those brands, other than the pioneer subs, but you could probably make that sound good.
