Anyone have had or heard 2 15'' type rs? My setup with my 4 12s went to sh!t because my downfire box was hitting the floor and killed 2 of the subs and I already have a big ass box built and ported that was gonna house them and I cant find 2 more to replace the broken ones cuz they were discontinued like 2 years ago. Thinking about getting 2 type r 15s because my amp will push 2 of them pretty good even though they can take more than rated power. Specs show they do not need a whole lot of airspace to get loud especially for 15s. alpine specs were 1-2.5 cuft sealed and 1.75-3 cuft ported. I will be giving them between 2.5 and 3 ported. Are these things loud and do they hit low? on around 700 rms a piece?

on 3 cubes each and 700rms each you should get a decent amount of sound out of them

Ok box is more close to 5.5 after sub and port displacement

The box is tuned to 32 hZ will they like that and get real low

not the best scenario but it should work

Well i hope so i just ordered 2 of them so i hope they slam. i feel like it has to be louder than 4 12s sealed downfiring and 2 were hitting the floor when i got them moving good

That is not alot of room for those subs at all and is not much power for them either... It will prolli do alrite but I wouldn't expect a ton from 2 underpowed woofers in an inefficient enclosure. Truthfully you prolli would have been louder with a single 15" R off that power in a proper enclosure.

I know the subs can take more than rated but do you really think they will be that badly underpowered? I hope they get loud, I mean they will be getting their rated rms, If so why would alpine rate them so low? I mean i checked around a little bit and Ive seen people giving one of them 2000 rms but I mean They should still get loud and low and sound pretty good off just over 700 a piece right?

and i guess im not really expecting a TON from them I just want it to be louder than my 4 12s sealed and downfire setup. and 2 out of the 4 subs were in chambers much to small for the subs. (like .95 cu ft before sub displacement,thats what i get for buying a prefab under the seat box)

they arent being underpowered really you can get great results of these subs with rated power, you just cant choke them in a small box like you plan to do.
