2 x Soundstream T6-12 vs 2 x Alpine Type R?


Recommended Posts

hey all! I don't post much around here (mostly in the Tunez section) but I'm relatively new to car audio (started getting interested within the last year). right now I just have an old pair of Infinity 10's in a sealed box powered by an old 600w Kenwood amp and I'm finally getting around to upgrading, and I want to make sure I do it right.

first question is if anyone's ever tried to Soundstream T6-12's.. I can't find many reviews on the internet but they seem like a pretty good deal for the price, as I can get 2 for around $400.

I'm also considering 2 Alpine Type R 12's.. if anyone can help me make the best decision it would be much appreciated! I'm open to any suggestions. my budget is around $1200 for the system all together, but since I don't have to tools to build a ported box I'll have to find someone who can do it for me as I really don't want to go with a crappy prefab, but if anyone finds one with the ideal space for either of these subs (or any suggested) I'd definitely look at it.

these would be going in a ported box so I want to go loud!

I know this is the sub/enclosure section but if anyone could recommend me a good amp to power these I'd be open to any help!

thank you for all the help guys :)

if your serious about car audio you should take 300 dollars or so of the budget and buy some basic tools

i had 2 alpine type R 12s powered by a crescendo BC2000 in a ported box wired to 1 ohm and it sounded awesome! i drive a monte carlo so there was no way i was getting a 8x4ft sheet of MDF into my car. so i had lowes cut it. i told them what it was for and told them every cut had to be EXACT. and they did it perfectly to my cut sheet.
