how speakers and an amp work? i only know how an amp works internally ...dunno bout speakers (: would be a very long post...

im guessing u wanna know what speakers to run off an amp.

well what u got told isnt exactly right.

400W max or 400W rms?

rms = continous power the amp can produce to a set of speakers under the given conditinos or in the speakers case, the amount it can continiously handle.

400W max doesnt give any indication of a speaker or an amp.

those 1000W boss amps only produce 4x65WRMS.

If u have a speaker at say 50RMS rating, to power them nicely, u'd want to put 75-100RMS into them, and adjust the gains carefully...ensuring that theyre receiving nice clean power. they can go louder thus before distortion.

the way to look at it is...if u have a $400 speaker then u need a $400 amp (:

r u sure its 500RMS ? thats quite a bit..what is it?also is it SVC 4ohms? or dual voice coil or what? like i said, 500rms is at certain conditions only, ie. 12Volts at 4ohms etc.

anyway, u'll want something that can give it over 500rms, some monoblock thats decent..JL audio 500/1 cant remember price on that, i think around $800, alpine mrd-1000 around $800ish too i think.

again, if u spent that kinda money on something that can handle 500RMS then u've probably spent how much those amps r worth.

You need to know your sub impedance load (in ohm), and whether it is dual voice coil (DVC) or single voice coil (SVC), because they will give different load to the ohm. Once you know the load of the sub, then you need to find out what power can the amp output with that load, and whether the amp is stable at that load or not.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
