Chris from Mi Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 go with a loaded bl, a little lighter on the wallet, and if you blow it (prob wont) its only a recone compared to replaceing the sub Quote Orion 2500D, Jbl Gto 75.4 Team Wolfpack Audio FSQ 15" d2, mb quart xover, tweets peerless 6.5 mids Alpine cda-105 optima up front Knu klm 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KyleCannon Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I have a 12" Type-X. I have it powered by a P1000-1bd and it hits really damn hard It is not a bad sub at all. If you're going to pay retail at 500$ though, don't get it and go with a Fi like everyone else said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(preferably people who have a 12" type-x or have had one) IMO Dude stick with the Type X. No offense to Fi, or anyone else, but everyone and there mom has Fi Branded woofers. They are good woofers, no doubt thats why everyone runs them. Think outside the box and go with the X. BTL would get louder, but the X would sound better.... Quote Derp.
