i finally coughed up the money and bought subs which i really liked, but i still had the cheap amps, and because of that my score and loudness suffered.

at last ive decided on this project to go and save over months and months and buy quality equipment.

moral of the story: you get what you pay for. if something seems too good to be true, like a huge power amp for cheap, it is. quality costs money.

edit for jo0es: i really didnt like my Rs that much. i had my gains set appropriately, and even then those things couldnt take a bx1605D for more than 5 minutes to save its life. anything that was low, below 25hz they would just bottom out. imo, they are nothing special at all. if people run them and like them, good for them... really. for a budget sub, they are decent, but not the be-all-end-all woofer everyone makes them out to be. anyways, back on topic.

for the past few weeks galacticmonkey has been the official type-R putdown spokesman, he talks bad about them in almost every thread remotely related to them like there the worst things in the world, yet he ran three himself, and ive seen his videos, they didnt look that bad to me
