I saw that

 

 

where did that guy come from

I read some of your other posts, welcome to evom man I appreciate your input and if you need help with anything just let me know

 

lol i kinda forgot about this thread lol it was cruise week in my city and there was a big as free car show so i was there anyway i have 2 P212S4's and they are each rated at 200 rms and i have them running off my amp at 2 ohms so each sub sees 300 rms....kinda want new subs has anyone heard what infinity subs are like ill prob go with alpine type r but wouldn't mind the input on another brand.

 

oh forgot to add yes dan they are in sealed enclosures and they are 10inch subs
not the 12's

 

so they are the P210S4's then. I would run them straight up, 300x2@4 will get go easy on the amp and your speakers.

 

Shop for the product, not for the brand :

I wouldn't choose an Infinity or Alpine subwoofer (well, the Alpine Type-X is nice.)

If you want to step your game up, here ya go. The audio bug can be just like the tuning one

i don't wan't anything crazy i just want to go a tiny bit bigger so i think the type r's will do me just fine

 

but it's rice dude if you just want a little more, your money's best spent on having someone build you a proper ported enclosure, and upgrading the amp

 

another interweb fight



If all you want is boom go for a ported or a bandpass enclosure. a sealed enclosure is going to get you the best accuracy, and will still allow low bass notes due to woofer size. you won't get the boom, or super down low volume, but you will be able to listen to whatever you want an have it sound good. tonal accuracy is very important if you enjoy music, not important at all if you are trying to impress your friends, it's your choice

 

i kind of lost track of my main question was here and that is basically how far on average will a cone push out before it seperates...i have it tuned nicely already and it sounds amazing and i have no distortion so far but im worried that they might push too far and seperate....ive had the subs for a year and thought well they played in -40 weather so how much abuse can they take time to push em a bit

 

if you want to push harder you should spend more money. if you are asking how long you can push at the level you describe then as long as the speaker doesn't physically degrade. cheaper materials (paper cones) fall apart much sooner, years not decades. rubber or synthetics will last much longer.
