New member Username: Greggor_j_trumpSouth windsor, Ct Usa Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-05 | i was thinking of getting either an Alpine Type-R 12" sub vs a lanzar duel w/ enclosure (cuz its a good deal?) which is here : http://www.electronicheadquarters.com/detail.asp?id=104830 ok this is a discussion in itself: i read in a magazine that subwoofers could get better power to them if the enclosure was shaped spherical...like instead of a box shape, but obviously when ur dealing with a small space like the inside of a car who cares cuz its already mind blowing but its still an interesting idea instead of having box shaped enclosures a round one might be effective in itself (according to the article a bubble holds more air and a square bubble would pop or something) |

Two 5.5 Type-S in front, two 5x7 type-r in back, alpine CDM-9821 headunit...im planning on finishing it off with SBR-122C alpine type-r subwoofer w/ enclosure which is here : http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13203 I looked up the alpine MRV-F340 on pricegrabber and it looks straight so im gonna get that as well.... will that amp be good to wire both the speakers and subwoofer to? any other suggestions for subwoofer or amp? this is my first system ive put in a car...so any suggestions are appreciated thank you |
