| 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.

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?.

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
