Alpine Type X vs Rockford P3 [SPL]


ReaperX

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Short history : Im starting my project on my ford focus hatch, the trunk isnt too big and the car doesnt have much power, so size and weight are crucial to me (I dont wanna hurt perfomance too much neither loose all my trunk)

I want SPL! There is no such thing as too much SPL

So, my main target is SPLxWeight, therefore I need the most SPL I cant get, with the lesser weight

About SQ, I've heard a old P3 12" sub and I've found its SQ quite satisfying for me, so anything equal or above is OK

WIth SPLxWeight in mind I've found myself between 2 12" subs:

Alpine Type X 12" or Rockford P3 12" (new model)

I will be using two of them

I dont care if the Type X is better sounding, as Ive heard the P3 and that is enough SQ for me, but I want SPL, so: which one will be louder?

I know TypeX is double the price, but if it pounds considerably more I can pay for it no problem (RF T2s are out of the equation because they're too heavy and require a bigger box)

Before this gets locked cause of the "vs thread rule" If it was my money I would get the rockfords. and this is coming from someone who currently runs all alpine gear besides my amp's.

I have a buddy who has a single P3 15'" SEALED in the trunk of his WRX and it is taking 1200 watts rms all day everyday and cracked his rear view mirror in two places the third time he ran full tilt.

I know your talking about 12"s but if his system smashes that hard with a sealed box and one 15... Im sure you will be fine.

all personal opinions though

Build's consist of:

2004 Chevy Impala :

Pioneer--------------------- DEH-X8600bs Soundqubed/AQ------ Q4-120

Rockford Fosgate---- Punch-500.4

Soundqubed/AQ----- Q1-3500D.1 Alpine----------------- 6.5's & 6x9's

Subs: TBA All Knukonceptz and SHCA wire and rca's

Home Music Setup
