Put a little system in the Bonneville Yesterday
12" 1500w Alpine Type R powered by a 500w RMS Hifonics Son Of A Boltar amp. Wired to 2ohms. but my wiring is junk and i have horrable voltage drop, with barely any bumps, hopefully tonight ill be getting a Optima Gel Cell Battery, and all new wiring to solvee the problem...

yes the sub is 500w RMS. My wires are horrible so i think that'* the problem. I'm using a 10gauge plastic coated copper wire for a temp power wire. And it only has about 15 thick strands in it. and my ground is a 6 foot long in-home extension cord with the ends cut off. lol. don't judge me. lol. It was just to test these amps i bought. i tested this amp with 2 12" old school Type R'* in my buddies Janky Chrysler LHS and the amp performed great with little voltage drop. and the amp pushed those type R'* hard at less than 1/2 gain. But in my car i turned the amp up all the way and wouldn't bump that hard in a big ported box, and the amp would cut out when i turned the volume up more. Keep in mind. I didn't drive around with the amp playing like this. I don't want to damage the amp or kill my alternator. I was just checking it out. Our cars should be similar when it comes to charging systems and electrical.

im not using that wire anymore.. it was just test wires. Ive always liked Hifonics equipment. And like i said.. It was hitting 2 type R'* HARD with less than 1/2 gain and bassboost off. So itll be fine with my 1 Type R
