96saturnsl Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Ive also got 2 12" alpine type R's...i like em...my amp doesnt have enough power to push em to what they need tho....they are only on half power but they still flex my windsheild...there pretty good subs...just make sure u have a amp to push them pretty good with and the right enclosure ( my enclosure is a lil small ). hope this helps ya Quote
AlpineGuy87 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 yea, make sure you do the proper tuning for a box. check the specks on the Type R's. build a nice ported box and nice amp to push it and you'll be liking it man! Quote 06 SCION tC
sean 371 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Type R's sound just fine in a 1.5 cu ft net ported box. I wouldnt go any smaller though.

hockeyrulz21 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 They aren't 149. I think sonic has them for $119 as well. really? i thought they were $149, but $119 is great. Quote
civichatch Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Ya sonic electronix has em for 119$. You should order a 12 when you get back.

hockeyrulz21 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 ya, i'm not really sure.. i want a 15" but i think a 12" will be plenty of bass Quote
hockeyrulz21 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Posted May 1, 2007 I think I'm pretty sure I will be ordering this amp along with my sub. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3821_M...under+4501.html Quote
civichatch Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I recomended that amp to him becuase it is the exact RMS the sub can take and I have had a good experience with my MTX amp. It has come to life now that im running it at 2 ohms. What do you guys think about that amp. I dont want to be giving bad advice to him seeing as this is his first system.
