well as u guys know i bought 2 12" type R's and now am debating on wheather to put both or just 1 in, the amp I will be using will be the JL 500/1. I listen to all types of music from heavy metal to Rap to Techno. I know I am going to run a sealed box and i know i probally should have went with 10's but i bought the 12 for a number of other reasons.
sould i run both or just 1.

I was thinking why not just run both and then ajust the subwoofer level on my radio when I dont want as much bass. But if I was only goin to go with 1, I could buy a cheaper amp.
And I think 2 type R's in the stangs small trunk is gonna be a lot of bass, to much bass for hard core rock songs.

Personally, I would go with a single sub and bridge the amp. Lets say that you have a 2-channel amp thats 500W total (250 per channel.) In theory (i.e. if the amp was perfect), if you bridged this amp you would end up with 100W and not 500W like most people would think. And the impedance should remain the same.
Now obviously you can't get a perfect amp, but you can still boost that one channel pretty close to 4X the output of a single channel.

hey man...the 2 12" Type Rs would be fine for rock...i have the 2 10" versions and the 1000W Alpine amp...it BUMPS when i listen to rap/hiphop and when i listen to rock they supply nice tight bass...but with the 500W amp you have you'd be better off only using one...you won't be sending enough power to two
well u guys have probally never heard of JL audio beause there amps are very underrated.
My old setup was 2 12" L7's and 1 JL 1000/1 this setup was good for 147.7 dbs on the dash.
I love jl audio. I have 2 jl 8's with a jl amp in my truck.

I like bass, but in my town way to many people over due it. You can either drown out music with too much bass, or take the time to get the right amount so your music sounds exactly how you like. Some may prefer one subwoofer, some may two.
