I have 4 12 inch type r's and i'm only hitting 130 wonder what's wrong, these things only run 500 watts rms each, no?
Yes, they can handle a good clean 500+ watts each, but if you do not have an isolator, deep marine batteries, and an upgraded/aftermarket alternator, you aren't getting anywhere near the 500W each. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't an OEM electrical system on the planet that could supply an amp with enough current to produce 2000 watts, much less the fact that there are 2 amps.

I am sure it is plenty loud, I am just surprised you are not hitting more than low 130s...
