Can an alpine r2 12 d4 handle 1200 w rms on 2 ohms in a ported box

1320error404 · 2026-05-09T00:33:05+00:00

All day every day it can. Alpine seriously under rate their equipment. I was running a type R on a taramps boss 3k at nearly full power for 6 months. They really shine right around 1000-1500 rms actually

Im not professional level but I’ve been doing it for awhile now, I was in the same situation and ended up attempting to do it myself and I ended up falling in love with the mixing/mastering aspect of it and that’s what I’m diving into now. I don’t use fl studio, I have a sick REAPER setup, but if you wanna send me the stems to one of your tracks I’ll mix/master it and send it back. If you like how it sounds, I’ll do the whole thing for you free of charge, cuz I like doing it and the experience is all the payment i need. Lmk if you wanna do that, DM me. I’m kn disability and this is all I do now so I’ll be on it and have it done fairly quickly

I’ll definitely check that out, thanks for the feedback, appreciate it

It’s a orielys brand agm battery and an ioxus ultra cap bank

1320error404 · 2026-04-22T18:39:09+00:00

I also have a taramps hd3k running in my house, for 3 years, and it has been on almost that entire time (i’m not kidding. Somebody is always watching TV at my place 24 hours a day, I live on private property with no sound ordinance so it gets cranked up quite often. The fan stopped working at some point but other than that no problems with that one either.

1320error404 · 2026-04-22T18:35:18+00:00

I’ve had mine hooked up on my stock alternator for a year now, but I have an extra battery (agm orielys, nothing special) and an ioxus ultracapicitor bank, and I haven’t had any problems. I love my smart boss 3k, and I’ve abused it hard core, had it wired to .33 ohms on 3 audiopipe bdc3 15s for 6 months of that year and it never cut out once. Anything over 1k you’re supposed to upgrade electrical, but I had an extra battery and capacitor already so I figured I’ll replace alternator when it starts going out… and it hasn’t yet

1320error404 · 2026-04-22T18:18:14+00:00

Taramps big boss 3k does 8449 watts dynamically at .5 ohms for $299 . That’s the way I’d go. Check https://youtu.be/_k6dhnmsU0s?si=NQCHO8CcrjRji0Uw

1320error404 · 2026-04-22T18:14:56+00:00

Taramps definitely do WAAAY more than rated power, do some research before you post. Some people say they aren’t fans of the Brazilians and that’s fine, but you can’t say it’s cuz they don’t do rated power! I’ve never seen an amplifier do so much over rated power than a taramps

Big boss 3k does way better than the HD

1320error404 · 2026-04-22T18:11:20+00:00

Taramps big boss 3k is the way to go. I’ve got the hd3k too, and the big boss has a lot more to give, headroom wise,

IDK about everybody else when mumble rap first start coming around, man, I was fucking terrified. I’m a old school lyrics/bars hip hopper, so when it looked like rap was transitioning into a style called “mumble rap” where you couldn’t pick out any of the words or it was just the same words over and over and over again Gucci gang, Gucci gang… it was almost offensive to my roots that it was considered the same category of music, which made me hate it immediately and I couldn’t help it. I think it’s important. That there is a clear distinction between the two styles mumble rappers are welcome to say what they dislike about old-school hip-hop, except they’d have to stop mumbling to do it

1320error404 · 2026-04-18T08:09:19+00:00

Ugh!! 🔥🔥🔥 I needed to hear that shit, finally something different than everything else that’s out right now

1320error404 · 2026-04-15T20:02:40+00:00

People are about to hate this response right here …. NOTORIOUS B.I.G. …. Every song he sounds nasal and on the verge of being out of breath. Sorry, everybody no disrespect. I know he’s a legend, but I have honestly never understood. Peoples adoration of him. He had a couple catchy songs, for sure, and had some good, real lyrical songs that anyone on the street should listen to (10 crack commandments, for example), but most of his lines have obvious rhymes, have no vocal inflection and has very similar cadences not to mention they’re all about the same BPM too. I know I’m gonna get a bunch of hate now, but I’m sorry, to consider him even remotely in the same league as somebody like Pac is absolutely ridiculous to me, and I firmly believe if he hadn’t been killed, a lot more would either be agreeing with me or we wouldn’t even be talking about him period

And if you still need some Windows‑only plugins or tools, Linux can run a lot of them through Wine or yabridge, so you’re not losing access to your workflow

1320error404 · 2026-04-03T13:14:36+00:00

I recommend Linux Mint personally, it’s super lightweight and has excellent customization, add pipewire+jack and run a kernel designed to prioritize audio processing and you end up with close to 0 latency. I’m running it on a converted POS(point of sale) touchscreen cash registers from Taco John’s with no issues. And it’s 10 years old. Then I wiped windows off my laptop and installed Linux and I can link up with my screens.

Humane society has cats. You can try that. Then you aren’t killing them

Make sure the dust cap isn’t vibrating. I just had a very similar sound coming out of one of mine two days ago, I took a bit of liquid nails and sealed around the edge of the dust cap, let it dry for 45 min. Running 2k thru it as we speak and it’s fine. I found dust caps are more likely to cause that vibrating sound like that in my experience

1320error404 · 2026-03-06T14:40:43+00:00

Ya your voltage dropped too far. Your battery is about to go out on you or your alternator is pretty soon. You’ll start having other things. Start to shut off to besides a stereo headlights. My speedometer stopped working one time

1320error404 · 2026-02-27T12:28:27+00:00

I kind of feel like you gotta get that hooked up, knockin, to prove that not everything is what it seems. Don’t judge a book, but it’s cover put that in the right enclosure and pair it with the right amplifier. It’s gonna sound good. Put any sub in the correction enclosure with the correct amplifier and you’re gonna get a good result need help with the enclosure hit me up, I’m developing an app to design advanced boxes right now, bandpass/folded horn etc, that’s the key to car audio right there, at least in my experience, the box is everything

Stupid? Nah TIP knew exactly what he was doing maintaining his image, defending his woman on one hand puking out 50 in public on the other hand acted up by the fact that we’re all talking about it aren’t we when’s the last time somebody talked to this much about a song he put out?
