You can power a sub with it, that's it

[hybrid90accord]

The possiablilties are endless you could do a lot off different sub set up and combo's with that or any amp for that matter. So didid you just get the amp without a/an idea of what subs you wanna run and how many? Whats ur budget? What are the goals you wanna meet with your system spl, sq, sq+ etc etc etc. All those factor in to the equation.

Like i said im a total newb , my friend had it sitting in his garage and got it stupid cheap , so i was actually reall just wondering what sub set up i could use wisely with this

300 6.5" woofers. lol Anyway, if it works then its a good amp to run maybe a pair of 4 ohm svc subs or dvc 2 ohm subs or one dvc 4ohm sub or....well you get the point. Basically what hybrid said.

For the most power you would want a setup that had a DC resistance of 2 ohms... so either 1 sub w/2 4 ohm coils, 2 subs w/single 4 ohm coils, 2 subs w/dual 2 coils in series wired in parallel, etc etc etc

That's a good amp

i think two type Rs in a ported box would go hand in hand with it

i understand what ur saying but honestly any sub could be powered by that amp so i want to know what sub or subs did you have in mind if any? honestly i saw later in the post you were considered type r's honestly imo i would just use that amp for 1 type r, those subs are very underrated power wise. id just go with about 2.3cu@28(i like a low tune because of the sq)-34hz and you wont be sorry. There tons of subs out there but ur budget will be the main factor with what type of sound you will get.

I had a boston acoustics 12" G5 sub in a sealed box with the GTR 12" passive radiator. It only weighed 45lbs total and was too loud for me. Going with a higher end setup like that for example can give you great results with less weight, and less lost trunk space.

I've done car audio the last nine years and of all the subs I've ever owned, my favorites were my 15" Eclipse aluminum, and the boston G5.
