Hey folks, sorry if this is a repost.

Is anyone out there running Alpine Type-R subs in their 7th gens? If so, how do they sound? Just wondering because they will probably be the next subs I will buy.

I have heard the type R, they sound really good. Lots of bass.
The other weekend i was at the electronics store and I saw they had type x subs, i didnt even know that alpine made these, they had a huge magnet and the 12 sub was rated at max 3000watts. Those subs must put out a whack load of bass.

yeah the type x is huge, but it takes like a 1200 dollar amp to power it. Thanks guys for your opinions.

i have owned audiobahn subs, kicker solobarics, and heard plently single type-r sub setups in a hatch and sedan.

the type-r is a very nice sub, it has great amount of spl being in a sealed box and the sound quality is better than my kicker solobarics. i eventually got tired getting loud from my solobarics and sold them to get some sound quality subs; alpine type-r, infinity perfect, or some sort of jl audio. but it wasnt louder than my solobarics for sure

type X 12, with a rockford t1000.1 amp is awsome.

I have two type r's right now with a modded rockford bd1500 amp, around 1800 rms, will soon have three installed and possibly two strapped bd1501's. The three will have 10 cubic feet ported box tuned to 30hz. i recommend the type r's to anyone

type r's are all sound quality. dont expect to push them hard for long though, ive seen many blow from too much power for too long. as long as your not an idiot, you should be good with a 600-700 watt amp.

i've run 2 type Rs (older, 300rms) w/ my 601S (rockford 600rms) then I switched to 1 10" (newer one thats 500rms) and I've never really cranked it a ton but it sounds great even when its turned up.

i've got one of the newer type r 12's (500rms) powered by an arc audio kar 1000.2T and its getting 100wrms and loving it

cool guys, thanks. Right now Im looking at a 500rms mono amp (alpine), thought that would push one type r 12 well. I would get a type x, but I dont have 1500 to spend on an amp.
What box would you recommend then?

p o r t e d.
hands down.

have a shop build you the box to the right specifications or do it yourself but make sure its air-tight, even if it is ported.
