well my 10L7 is a dual 4 ohms and i need a dual 2 ohms sub so my amp does full power at 1 ohm. i need a cheap dual 2 ohm sub and went to AVU and saw older model type r on sale. so i bought a type r 12" dual 2 ohms and made a spl box for it. my question is will a type r 12" survive 2500rms 2 sec burp? haha i dont think it could handle. probably gonna blow. i'll be at the show on may 21

 

what amp is it? because that will dictate whether it actually is doing the 2500wrms it claims. Anyway if the amp actually is doing 2500wrms at 1ohm (which I strongly doubt) then I seriously doubt the type R will take it well...I am sure it will handle a couple but eventually its gonna give out either by burning up or more likely mechanically

 

i think it might depend on the kind of box its in.thermaly it could probly take it for 2 sec but mechanically?

 

the amp is orion 2500d. i know it doesnt exactly 2500rms. maybe a lil less than that. theres two shows in langley on may 21 and 22. right now im running jbl bp600.1 wired it at 4 ohms. just breaking in properly.

 

which type rs do you have, last years or this years, last years had a smooth surround, this years are ribbed!

 

i said older model in the first post [img]tongue.gif[/img] . yea last years. it is 300rms. the 2005 type r is 500rms. so i dunno if my sub blew and cover warranty and get a 2005 type r? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
anyone work at AVU?

 

I don't work for AVU, but you guys are unrealistic in your warrantee expectations.

Deliberately over powering a speaker to the point of damage, is like driving a car into a power pole and expecting the manufacturer to replace your bumper.

That said, I have, and am currently over-powering every speaker in my car system. Have they blown? NO. But, I would never approach the manufacturer or distributer for warrantee to cover my stupidity.
