Kicker Guy Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I wouldn't put a type X and SPL in the same sentence, they don't get that loud. And for the money.... you can do MUCH better then a W7. My choice is neither.

DRAMAQUEEN Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 type X and im not favoring alpine, just letting you know that the type X is definatly better and louder than the w7. Another plus with the alpine is they recommend to use their subs in sealed enclosures which is what your going for thats relative... A guy w 2 10 type x off a rf bd1000 did a 143.3 in a avenger , seats down , my single 12w7 off a jl 1000/1 did a 143.6 in a grand am, seats down.... Ive seen MANY w7 setups in texas shows near the 150 mark ( 4 12's and 3 13.5's different setups obviously ) So theres many variables... I see people on here w dual 15 setups ( that are good subs re sx, dc, mtx, kicker with dual sub setups where the posters said it was a very good score for them , that on avg were 1-2 db below my single w7 ported setup.. I built quite a few different snclosures for my w7 , and to me the one the sounded the best ( most overall freq. range ) was the HO box.. It seemed no matter what freq u played it at, it always sounded clear , clean smooth, loud n low.. Ive heard many type x setups, so im not dogging them im just going off the scores id see at shows and off MY termlab ** in with the new**96 grand am GT 2- dc lv 3 12'smemphis mc1000d145.3@46 hz** out with old**96 Grand am GT12w71000/1 143.6 @ 46 hz on the new TLhttp://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=av1023dc4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAMAQUEEN Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 both are overrated get a Q not overrated if HE likes how it sounds.. Everyone likes different things.. some say a w7 sounds hollow... Ive owned HOLLOW subs.. to me my re sx sounded hollow and couldnt touch the w7's low end... I know it sounds like im being another w7 "fanboy, but no matter what anyone says the w7 is a hell of a SQL sub... Lil off topic but my buddy had an older bd2000 or t2000 ( cant remember ) pushing a 13.5 w7 at 1.5 ohms .. I dunno what that comes out to for that amp ( which was rated around 2600 i believe ) And that sub took it all , never bottomed out , no popping, low as all hell and clean .. So maybe 800 watts over rated power , for daily .. That made me respect why some people pay so much for them.. Oh fyi that sub did a 145.9 at 38 hz box 3 cubes tuned to 28 hz ** in with the new**96 grand am GT 2- dc lv 3 12'smemphis mc1000d145.3@46 hz** out with old**96 Grand am GT12w71000/1 143.6 @ 46 hz on the new TLhttp://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=av1023dc4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAMAQUEEN Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 im not trying to spam but.. Ive seen higher scores at shows w type r's than x's.. but that s just me ** in with the new**96 grand am GT 2- dc lv 3 12'smemphis mc1000d145.3@46 hz** out with old**96 Grand am GT12w71000/1 143.6 @ 46 hz on the new TLhttp://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=av1023dc4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 im not trying to spam but.. Ive seen higher scores at shows w type r's than x's.. but that s just me I would hope so, the type X isnt designed for SPL, its designed to be CLEAN, your comparing apples to oranges I had a type X 12's they sounded superb, played with a w7, it sounded very good too, but for the money I would take a Type X over the W7 all day everyday.

DRAMAQUEEN Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 but would you agree the Q is a good option for the money. I'm pretty sure its cheaper than a w7 From what i here , Hell yea , for the money and the good feedback the "Q" and Fi in general get, its a damn good alternative .. If people actually paid "cost" for a w7 , like what all the internet companies charge ( fi, dc etc ) im sure 90% of ca enthusiasts would run w7s... Not dogging any of the smaller companies ( hell i run DC and love em, And RE in the past ) but when JL can market there product so much AS being one of the "TOP " companies and making there hi end 12 $900 , do u really think the Celeberties, athletes, movie stars , pimps , hoes , what ever are really gonna buy fi s top end sub for 500 or so?? JL is a marketing company .. But the sad thing is that nobody knows about the smaller guys who make better products for cheaper.. example.... My 2 12 dc lvl 3's blow away the jl w3 s in every way .. And even w the same power mine hit harder, louder and cleaner in a TRUNK car , compared to his talon, and is on par with the 2 12 w6 1000/1 combo in a grand prix... ANd those subs retail are 350-400 bux more ..

Exactly what im saying... I'm assuming you and I have heard both them subs in many different cars, enclosures, power , electrical etc.. You may have heard very good alpine setups, and i might have heard very good JL setups ... But i guarantee in the right car either sub, Dual 12 would sound great nd be upper 140's.. Like i said just my personal experience w them tho ** in with the new**96 grand am GT 2- dc lv 3 12'smemphis mc1000d145.3@46 hz** out with old**96 Grand am GT12w71000/1 143.6 @ 46 hz on the new TLhttp://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=av1023dc4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Only reason I take the alpine's are becuase they are cheaper. if I was buying a sq sub it would be a Fi Q but thats me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
