I am just getting into audio so i dont know much about subs n'shit and want to know if they are a high quality sub, do they hit low, loud, whatever. I just need some info or companies that you guys would reccomend. I was looking at 2 12 inch subs.

TIA

Ryan

i've heard just ONE of these in a teg, they hit awesome 2 and you'll be begging for dynamat, these are loud, but you gotta push em with atleast 6-700 TRUE watt amp a high quality amp, kicker, jl . .

I have one 15 powered by a crapy amp and it hits low and its loud. Im very happy with it

kind of ironic that hondahater has a "type R" sub... haha... im just fookin with ya bro!

I am running 2 10" Type R subs with an Alpine M500 amp and it sound amazing..... I have a complete Alpine setup actually and I am very happy with its performance.

Chad

yeah I know, laugh at me. But I made a skull speaker cover so you really cant see it. I will post pics when I finish it

I too am going all Alpine... I have 2 type R subs in my car, 2 alpine amps, alpine headunit and all alpine type r component speakers. I really like the Alpine equipment... good quality, good sound and good price.

I ended up going with an Alpine 7995 HU, 176A Components up front, 174A 6.5s in the back, and 2 of the 2OHM DVC 10" subs. I am running the front four on a F340 and the subs on the M500. I am still working on making it all pretty but it sounds amazing.

Chad

im planning on going with the 7995 hu soon. How do you like yours so far.

I like it a lot so far.....I really like the colors of the display and the controls are pretty simple to use. I haven't had a chance to figure out the time correction settings but when you change them its pretty cool to here the sound stage move around. I used the pocket from the dealer to install it and the only problem is I cannot figure out a way to get the trim ring on around it so its not as clean as I would like ...yet...



Chad

yeah i guess i didnt realize that the alpine decks were accually too long to fit flush in our cars. I just called up Crutchfield and thats what they pretty much were telling me, so now im not too thrilled about getting one unles i can find a way to get it to fit well. the deck is like 6.8 inches long and our cars were only meant to fit things shorter than 6.4 or so.

Its really not that bad.... It actually has room to go back more but I have it bolted right up to the stock brackets and that holds it out a bit. I think it still looks pretty good. I will try and get you a piture of what mine looks like this evening.

Chad

cool... that would definately help me make my decision better. if you need a place to host the pic i can do it just hit me up on aim: Suterboy.

Sorry....
My wife stole the car for the night so I wasn't able to get a pic. I promise I will have one up by Friday though so keep checkin back. I keep telling her that the car is a chic magnet but she keeps wantin to drive it anyway ..... hmmmmm??

Chad

hehe.. man.. surprised that you let someone else drive your car.. my rule: you can drive as long as im in the car.. But neways.. yeah ill check back. i decided to get the unit yesturday and should have it by next week.. :-) My first really pricey system component.. i cant wait.

i have 2 10"s i am building a new box but i dont have the manuals for them, can anyone tell me how airspace is needed for a sealed box? i have 2 of the dvc 10's

I still need to make the back pretty!

Chad
