Bills Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 as everyone has pry read in a couple of my last post, I'm planning my next build in my blazer. i've started buying things i need, i got my fatmat in, ordering the new 200 amp alt next week(i hope) and i'm going to start saving for my second amp and two 12" woofers. for a long time i've been looking at the Alpine Type X and i just recently started looking at the Fi BL. its going in my blazer which i drive every day yet i'm planning on going to DB drags and SPL comps here in my local area this summer. so my question is what will sound good yet also pound when i need it to? Thanks everyone for helping!! Bills Quote KwB Team DC Audio Midwest captain
BigPimpin91 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 BL's. You could also try DC woofers. *Non-experienced user speaking.* Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music

spl explorer Posted March 26, 2008 Report Posted March 26, 2008 I've heard great things about the type x woofers.. Really? I have heard nothing but bad from the Type Xs. Fi's got my vote of course.

tejcurrent Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) I've owned a type-x 12 for 3 years or so, and it is a pretty nice woofer. Very sexy looking imo. Even still- my brother has a 12" BL, and I really wish I could swap them out. If you're looking for nice SQ the type-x sealed sounds very good. But ported the BL sounds about the same, and gets much louder. The type-x doesn't seem to do as well with overpowering either. Just my experience.

Bills Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 ok, sweet, the Fi BL are looking better everyday. i'm looking at getting it in the daily model, Extreme lead, Universal coils, and i'm not sure about the cooling options. i'm still stuck on that part. what would you seggest?

AI James Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 the Alpine X imo sounds ALOT better then a BL, but the output is lacking tremendously compared to the BL. Quote
littleitaly1990 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 no extreme lead....get full cooling if you are putting more than 11-1200 watts to it. Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath.
