I'm not a big fan of Kenwood subwoofers. But think of is this way.

a 13" sub pushes only so much air, yea its a better sub, but 2 12" subs push more air than a single 13. plus if you got the w7 i suggest a new amp.

I got it for 350 + 2x 12'' custom made 6'' ported box worth well over 150$, I found out the amps brand new still in box (they had 2, wired the new one wrong and blew it... sent it back in and this one came in 2 weeks ago - there sponsered by a audio company that just paided out their system, thats the reason they sold it to me, so all in all i think its a good deal)

Ive been getting reveiws from different sites.
its 3000 max rms divded into 2x subs at 2ohm, so the type r's are 1500rms max... this amp will push perfect current to both subs and this system is going to pound.

I still dont know how ill be getting 1500rms at each of my subs when retailers say type r's can only push out 600rms, but i guess at 2 ohm, thats double for 1200rms and a bit more for max since this amp pushes out nice clean quality sound.

Ill get a video on yuotube in the next couple weeks and let you know how it sounds.

All i need is 15ft of 0 gauge wire - 2-5$ a foot. (running with 8 gauge atm and its to skinny for the power this amps pushes out) then a send SWR-1222D 12'' type r 2ohm (went and met two ppl last night and they both had the SWR-1242 12'' type r at 4ohm which isnt my requirement, but they were selling for 150$... hopefully i find my 2ohm at 100-150 and ill be laughing.

Vouch. Unless he has the older Type R's which are only 500rms, 250 per coil.

I dont know why my buddies giving me this information... clearly im beleiving him mainly because hes sponsered and knows what hes talking about....
Why are random people telling me i can get 1500rms out of these, i know it doesnt make sense since they max at 600rms wether is clean quality or not.

If you were to argue with him, what would you say/ask?



I do have the old type r's, SWR-1222D 2ohm the new ones are SWR-1242 4ohms

No the new ones are 1243's.

Now compare this to the amplifiers stats(post the amp's stats up), the amp>subs if the amilifier actually does 1500 rms peak 1x sub 2ohm'd (or 3000 rms peak at 2x sub 2 ohm'd).
Im with you on this, most definitly... the specs tell it all, but my buddy/randoms say theres a way to bridge them to up the power at
1200-1500 rms peak without them blowing.

"No the new ones are 1243's."

@ Avoid, Correct 1243's... ive got 1242's stuck in my head for some reason, thos are 4 ohm 600 rms peak 1500-1600 watt peak.
