Noobtastic14 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well i was optimistic about them and considered it could be my boxes that were lacking not the woofers. Then two contacts (who i did not build for) went to separate shops and got boxes done and i didnt like the sq on either of them!!! Maybe i'm a SQ guy at heart and cant stand being loud at the cost of a Quality tone. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

meade916 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 how are you basing SQ off of a woofer, if your an SQ guy, how were your friends "front end"? Im guessing weak, no offense, most of my friends and even competitor friends have weak front ends. SQ is a combo of everything not just the subwoofer.

meade916 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 like i said ^^^ part 2 of this comment, ive never heard a system with a shitty front end but a good sub that i said, "man that sounds good". Ive heard some that had crackling stock "by-eights" in the dash ran off the deck and subs in the back and thought, that hits pretty hard, but never "that sounds good".

meade916 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 part 3 of my comment. My system sounds pretty good, but it really goes down hill if i turn my mids/highs off. I wouldnt listen to it for 2 seconds like that. Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

Noobtastic14 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 i guess the issue i'm having is the lack of support for the mids/highs. in the many boxes/cars i've heard them in they give a really sloppy "pingy" response that always frustrates me, especially when listening to music that I've heard on my TC9s -Drew EDIT: i could be crazy, its happened before and it will happen again...

rollin Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 you can use an 6.5 inch woofer ;put in the right enclosure for sq and it would be enough. I did an s dime with 1 10 typeR and some 5.25s on a 6 ch. diamond and every body who hears it absolutely loves it. Quote The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent..

trainman0978 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) when I originally bought mine I had already had kicker, kenwood, and kenwood excelon subs. Was not a fan RF subs and knew nothing of the likes of Fi, DC, and DD... wasn't gonna buy audiobahn, or MTX, or sony, pioneer subs. The type-R seemed to be the best bet. I had a pair of tens, and now a pair of 12s. Granted at the moment, I am needing to replace one of my 12s after two years of pretty hard beating. I would go on and step up to some Fi or DC 15s, but but that requires a new bigger amp, more batts, and a h.o. alternator. Plus I just built a new enclosure not too long ago, and I like those type-R subs a little bit more. I personally think my subs sound really clean, and they seem to sound ( to me anyway ) fairly tonally accurate in music , not to mention they get loud as fuck off of a 1000 watt alpine amp that is also two years old. I have gotten away from kenwood altogether and I have discovered sundown amps and I love them. I will get a 3000 watt amp from them to push my 15s with whenever I have funds to redo that part of my system properly. I am thru cutting corners. Anything worth doing is worth doin right. So for now I am gonna replace my blown 12 inch woofer , and I am gonna go ahead and replace the other woofer at the same time, and I am gonna keep on letting those type-R s do that work in the back of the FJ . I prefer the SQ of a type r over a solobaric and a CVR any day, and I cant comment on the CVX yet as I havent heard one. But for the money , alpine makes a damn fine sub.

96saturnsl Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 they dont actually sound that bad. i had 2 12s with 1500 rms going to them and they were tuned to 33hz they would pound all day long and didnt sound half bad doing it. i got 2 for 240 bucks and a amp to push them for 300 and it was low budget but it slammed the all holy hell outta my trunk and windsheild lol. i like my fi 18 im getting better tho. friends got one and it slams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
