You are in for a big suprise

(5 out of 5) by Joseph Johnson on Mar 30, 2009
i had a kicker comp vr and it was a little less money then this. i havce an alpine 500 watt rms amp, and thats what i was running with the compvr, for a while it was hitting smoothly. it sooned burned out. literally. i got this and now i can turn that amp up all the way and the alpine type r can handle it easily. i am so happy with it that i want to upgrade and get two.

So nice

i just got one of these and put it in my 91 gli, i got the alpine mrp-m650 too. i got it wired at 4ohms and with the amp thats 400w rms to the sub, and it is so damn loud. but not just loud, clear too cause i got it in a sealed box. its prolly twice as loud in a ported but ive heard it doesnt sound as clean. Anyways, you cannot beat this sub for the price, or even some more expensive dont even compare to this one. i wonder what the type x sounds like? anyways if your looking around for the best sub for price you've found it.

BEST SUBS EVER (For The Money)

I have 4 type-r's in my suv and soon going to 6. I am obsessed with this sub and for good reason. For no more than 150 bucks a sub, these subs are the sickest things on the market. I used to run 1000 watts RMS on these and they did FINE! With only two type-r's, I hit a 150dB on the meter. ONLY USE A PORTED BOX THOUGH! If you use a sealed box for too long they will blow up! But enough about that. If you want a GREAT sub for a GREAT price.. Type-r's are the way to go. THESE THINGS ARE SO FRICKIN' LOUD!!!!!

slapping

(4 out of 5) by Elliot Zweig on Nov 20, 2008 (da bay, ca, usa)
i have one alpine 12 type in a atrend ported box and my system slaps so hard it hurts anyone ears for hours after listening to it. i just got pulled over the other day and the cop said he could hear me for 1000 feet and he has been hearing me for two weeks and that was with out a ported box i just got the box and it starts to hurt my ears after i had already got used to the sound.

also i have a mrp500 alpine amp powering it and ti is not close to half way turned up
I totally recommend this sub i love it and if i had the room i would get tw in my car..




GREAT SUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if u want slap u want this for not that much money!!!!
