is my amp big enough?
 
I have a kicker 750.1 amplifier powering 2 10" type r's in a bandpass box and it works great and plenty of power to spare. Would I be able to power 4 or 6 type r's in a sealed/ported type box???

I want to power atleast 4 type r's... will this work?? I have a yellow top battery, 20farred capacitor, 2guage wiring etc.

Why so many subs? You could get just as much SQ/SPL out of two Type R's as you can with 4-6. As long as the enclosure is built properly and the placement is correct then its less about quantity and more about proper design.

Also, 750 watts divided by 6 is going to greatly underpower those subs especially in a sealed enclosure. You would need at least 300-400 watts per sub to get any kind of reasonable results.

Good deal! But sell the other ones. Just because you have that many subs doesn't mean you have to use them all.

dude are u sure you have a 20 farad cap? what cap is it?.
do you mean 2?

I'm running Alpine PDX1000 on 2 type r's in 4ohm and I don't use a cap.
stock battery and alt nothing else.
no dimming yet. I did have 2 farads on my old car stereo with components and 4ch.
mind you I don't blast it like I used to anymore....
gone to wanting more quality in my boom.

A cap is more of a marketing tool than anything. With less than 1000 watts on a stock alternator (class D power), you will never need a cap. I am running 3K+ and don't run a cap at all. Its all about the batteries and proper grounding.

Alpine R's which i had, are either 500rms or 600rms, so i feel like you'd be underpowering them quite a bit

the more the merrier i always say....right mike?....bigger is always better and if you can fit 4 more in there....you'll have a dream machine....yeah...a f'n nightmare...lol

you really should use the KISS system

Keep It Simple Stupid

1 amp...2 subs...cleaner and louder..less distortion and less CANCELLATION!!!!!
