miniSPLlancer Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just remember, alpine subs are build more for SQ than SPL Quote 2011 Mitsubishi OutlanderSony 712 Soundqubed HDS208 Alpine MRV-M500 Transmission line enclosure Soundqubed wiring Knu rca XS Power battery CNF terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudNlow87 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just remember, alpine subs are build more for SQ than SPL Not those subs.. They get loud for the price, no doubt. But they are definitely not an SQ sub. Throw 'em in 3.5 cuft @ 33hz with plenty of port and let 'em eat.
