Bronze Member Username: Drjones2k2Waterville, New York USA Post Number: 11 Registered: Nov-04 | I have a 95 accord and I am in the process of buying a system for my car, and I could use some advise. I do not wan't something with an extreme ammount of wattage. I need 2 subs, prefibly 15's, with a max peak power of 600(absolute max). I have $500.00 max to spend on both subs, not including the amp. My friend had 2 JL Wo 15's and they were really loud, so I need something at least as loud as them.(preferablely louder). I would like something that absoultly slams!!! I have looked at Alpine Type R 15's, but never heard them. Any comments? I want something that could be heard across my collage campus if desigered, and also verry clean sounding subs. I am seeking comments, and oppinions from any experenced stereo guys. Thank You all for your time. |

Silver Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 225 Registered: Dec-04 | the alpine type r's will out do your buddy's w0's. The w0's are actually not a good sub at all. That has nothing to do with the other model subs from JL. The w3v2,w6v2,and w7's are great subs. In the right enclosure and decent power about 400/sub the alpine's should be plenty loud for you not to mention much louder then your buddy's car. James |

Silver Member Username: James1115Ct Post Number: 227 Registered: Dec-04 | I would never recomend one when the w3v2 can be had for not much more$$$ |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3041 Registered: May-04 | I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of it, but it serves it's purpose. I'd definately recommend something like Shivas, Type Rs, Kappa Perfects, etc. in the price range of the W0s, but if you were limited to 125W RMS to power subs with, the W0s would do I guess. |

Anonymous | I would go with the solo baric 12 or 15. They'll handle more than 600 but you can always upgrade your amp later. They're great subs. Good SQ and SPL. |

Propaganda13 Unregistered guest | Type-R's are nice. I've heard good things about Ascendant Audio, especially the Atlas. I haven't had time yet to get to their shop in Crystal Lake to hear them though. They did license the XBL stuff from Adire, and it sounds like they've done a lot with it. Not just Adire ripoffs. |

Silver Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 172 Registered: Jan-05 | Solobaric's have good sq? Are you hard hearing? Compared to the R's and Jl, solobaric's are a joke! On the other hand they are a good spl sub, they can handle a good amount of power and can get loud if you need them too! |

Bronze Member Username: Drjones2k2Waterville, New York USA Post Number: 12 Registered: Nov-04 | Thank you all for responding so quickly. I think that I am going to go with the Type R's afterall!!! I just have one more quick question. I am going to go with the audiobahn A8000t amp to power the two of my 15's. Do I need a high powered alternator with that amp??? |

Silver Member Username: HdubbFarmington, Nm Usa Post Number: 447 Registered: Nov-04 | the atlas has a crazy wiring system. they are dual voice coils but they are different. one is 2 ohm and thinnner and the other is 4 ihm but is much thicker. they did this so you you could wire it to 3 different types of qts. it is crazy. i have a feeling that they are going to be an awesome company. i cant wait till they come out with the 4s and 6.5s with the xbl^2 tech. i think i might pick up an atlas here pretty soon. |

New member Username: AmericanbassPost Number: 8 Registered: Jan-05 | if i had 500 dollars to spend on subs it would def be the alpine type x's two 12's they would easily pound. as far as powering them i would suggest a crossfire 2000D running at 2 ohms u can get them from ebay for a good price |
