Today I took a trip to my local Best Buy and realized that I want to upgrade my subs. I mainly realized that my subs are way too weak for the amp I have now, and that I have room to expand. I really just want to get different subs. So what kind of subs could I get that would be better suited for this amp...

I know it's not the best amp in the world, but I really don't want crazy 2000W stuff. I don't want my music to bassy all the time! Just when I feel like being cool lol. Thank you for your input!!!

Considering that that amp is 1000W peak @ 2 ohms, and 500W RMS @ 2 ohms, I would just run some type R's with that amp, they can handle up to 600 W RMS @ 2 ohms, and 1800W peak, and they are decently priced, about 95$ at the cheapest per speaker.

Type R's have dual voice coils, allowing you to change the resistance, you can run them in an 8 ohm, 4 ohm, 2 ohm, or 1 ohm setup depending on how you wire them, so if you want lots of bass run them at 2 ohms and push your amp, if you want good quality and reliability run them at 4 ohms. They come with pretty solid instructions on how to wire them to suite you best.

But then again I am partial to alpine products :P

I really like those Rockfords. They are 4 ohms alone, but I want two. So would they still be 600W rms each together with 2 ohms. Because that would be good with my 1000W rms amp at 2 ohms. Am I correct?

Honestly, you don't need 2 subs in a vic, one would be plenty enough

And the RF is a DVC sub, so you can wire it down to 2 ohms


If you really want 2, you can wire em up parallel for 2ohms
