do you think a R2 10 ultra shallow mount would be louder &amp; bassier than a punch P2 8 ? Help with your oppinion

Yes. Usually a rule of thumb, the bigger the sub the more rumble, smaller the sub the more punchier

JWW's answer applies imo but I'm disappointed with the actual db to begin with. I wanted LOUD, and I believe I'll have to do air-power to impress deer, elk, peeeps, etc.

I've never experimented Marntz consolette but as far as I have used BW a7 it's quite loud. And gives a rich bass when you play it in high end. It has sharp and clear sound even in high volume. The only thing i am not satisfied with this product is I prefer low end bass. I love playing music in low volume with high base which i found missing on it. Otherwise it is a great piece. I't will shake the party night. I would say find out ur preference first. If u go for loud and crisp with deep punching bass then for it there is nothing wrong.

The punch would put a little cleaner power, but the prime won't be as power hungry. Also the prime does put out more than the rated power as does the punch. But the prime it's a larger amp and gives room to grow to a little larger system if needed. Also I did run the prime at 1 ohm and it did it just fine. That will do well over that 1200 watt rms bench mark. I would go with the 1200. I believe it's a little lighter in the pocket book as well. Either way you will be happy with both amps

I had two 10" pyle subs but they were shallow. I don't think a standard sub will fit

Depends on how much power you are putting into the system. I have two of these on an AQ1200. But they could take more. If you want more volume at lower rms, use two subs. Double cone volume-> 3db, double rms-> 3db. 6db I'd twice as loud to the human ear. As far as sound quality I think these aren't the most accurate subs but they definitely could be a lot worse. If you listen to lots of rap and boomy sounding bass, go with this sub, ported at 35hz in 1.5 to 2 cubic ft of box

That depends on some things. I'd say it SOUNDS louder because everything is closer to you, the player. It definitely is easier to blow (responds easily) and sounds nicer at higher volumes than my Holton TR602

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

I used this for two 10s then my rear 6x9s. The 1600 watts isn't true power you can get maybe 400W, but mostly 300 depending on how you wire stuff. It did make a nice little thump with the 10s in a custom box but i would go Audiobahn or Rockford since they are way cheaper these days.Look at the Audiobahn A8002M 2200W 2 Channel Class A/B Intake Series, little more price wise but you'll get at least 1000w true and its way better built. It used to be in the $300 to $400 range for this quality. If you really want power gonna have to spend at least $300 so that your not just blurting out noise but the above is for quality with a nice bump or rock music.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

They have tighter bass at higher volume but you still need a good bass box. Fosgate with a kicker 10-12in is optimum

I'm running mine to one 12 punch at 4ohm. Was cutting out an had trouble at 2 an lower. I'd go with the punch series Amp for alil more money if I were you.

because this is a 12 inch sub.. It will produce the lower frequencies more easily and clearly than an 8 inch at modeate volume.. My unit has performed well..

Fred it all depends on how much money you want to spend. You could buy a punch 1000bd or step to the power series t 1000bdcp I got a t 1000 and love it I'm pushing somewhere around 1500-1600 watts rms at 1 ohm the only thing is the lower the ohms ( impedance) the lower efficiency average is going to be which means how clean your bass is going to be. My next amp is going to be a t2500 on these subs the only thing is that I'm going to have to rewire these subs from 1 ohm to 4 ohms so I don't blow them up on the bass heavy song I play thru that amp to the subs.

Brutally. Watch the gains. P3's like ported enclosures, so USE THE SUBSONIC FILTER on it.

Std( midgrade )sub will fit but you'll get better sound from a shallow mount sub due to inadequate air space. I have a kicker cvt in mine and it gives me great bass all around

Comparing the 2 setups? The Acoustimass sounds better Imo... I actually set up the Acoustimass 3 and added these 161's to the rear channel of the amp. Sounds great
