type R 15s (need more help)

ive heard nothing but good about them...the should wang in your truck man.

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.

Not arguing because you know more than me by a long shot but why are the alpine specs for recommended box size so small then? I have seen 1.5-3 cuft ported.

I dont agree that would be an optimal box but if it would really be choking them that badly and they sounded bad why would those be the recommended specs

recommended specs are always what the manufacture recommends for the life of your sub and what a good medium is for them...1.5 per 15 id never do EVER but whatever floats your boat.

well i mean mine will have around 2.5 each maybe slightly more So thats why i was saying i dont think that would be choking them too bad cuz its on the higher end of recommended specs

i have 2 in my blazer around 2K RMS each. Box is tuned to 30HZ and they sound great, get low, and are FAR louder than my 4 Pioneer 12's i had on the same power. I really like the lows of the Type R 15's.

haha damn i wish i had the amps and electrical to be giving them 2000 rms each but i hope they do well off 700 a piece .

What he said ^^^

I'd never run these with anything less than about 3.5ft3 per woofer regardless of what the manufacturer specs are.

Ups came today and I put the 15's in and they hit HARD much harder than the 12's and much lower too. I tried not to get too greedy with the gain yet but I did notice a little smell. Is that normal for subs when they are breaking in? Im only giving them 700 rms a piece and they can handle a bunch more. I cant be frying something. The box was just build too I dont know if its a funny smell coming from the box or the sub?

everything hits very hard low but the only dissappointment is my higher bass. Is it a tuning issue with my box or maybe the lpf on the amp? The very high bass barely hits for example in the song I Put On by jeezy the first bass tone barely hits then it drops to the 2nd and that hits very hard it drops to the 3rd lower one and it hits harder and crazy and then it bottoms off with the very very last low note and it still hits hard and loud but just bass like that first not isn't really there. According to the calculators I used for the box it is tuned to 32 HZ should it still hit the highs good or should I have tuned higher?
