For the price does anyone have any expireince with either or recommend , for that kind of money and power handling capability, anything else? |

Bronze Member Username: HeadutterPost Number: 19 Registered: Jul-05 | Yah, but how do you really feel. All kidding aside I'm looking to match up something with a Soundstream that will give me at least 1000watts RMS to 2 12's. What, in the $150 to $200ea range is the best choice? What about Alpine,Infinity,FG,or any other? Also, which is better a foam surround or rubber and why? |

Anonymous | type r's are great strong surround long excusion great spl and SQ. no onther sub for this price and and class will touch it. think of this sub as a more accurate w6v2 for half the price |

Bronze Member Username: HeadutterPost Number: 20 Registered: Jul-05 | OK, now we're back to what i was thinking of from the begining. How would a pair of the Alpine 12's be with a Kenwood Excelon KAC-8811DAmp. Or that amp and the Kicker Comp VR 12's. Preferences and why? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 7999 Registered: Dec-03 | don't like kenwood at all. they have an inordinately high failure rate.. a lot like sony's xplod series of amps. they also love to go into thermal protection mode with a simple 2 ohm load on the class D mono amps. |
