I know people are tired of hearing this question but it seems like all these 'kids' want an SQL setup. Looking for a pair of 12 inch subs that will not only get loud but sound great. Listen to mostly everything (except Rock and Country!!). Found these subs:
Diamond Audio D612D* RE SE 12inch Alpine Type-R 1242D*
Most I want to spend is around 200 for 1 sub. That RE amp looks great, probably gonna get that or Orion 1200D. Thanks and sorry if its a repeat question.

alot of RE fans out here. heard alot of good reviews on them/ but i wonder how they play coz ive never heard em... compared to alpine type r / rf punch stage 3 / and kicker compvr / mtx 8500 ?? what would everyone choose.. the re is pretty expensive for a similar setup in the above brands..
im also lookin for a pair of 12's.. what do u guys suggest to buy..?
lol sorry comp im in a similar dilema..wonder if we both get out answers... HELP guys!!!
i wonder how, 2 RE SE 12inch's would perform to a rockford fosgate punch stage 3? who would have better sq / spl? lol or spl... the power series perhaps T112D4? or do u guys think 2 sx 12's would beat them?
ex...if you're used to the sound of sony xplods, then you may think some guy's audiobahns have amazing SQ the first time you hear em.
but then you get to hear something like a properly installed/powered Adire Brahma or something of the likes...then you'll realize what people REALY mean when they talk about SQ and SQL.
I'm a little scared of Alpine.....just because they're being sold at BestBuy. Anytime i think of BestBuy i think of cheap car audio. Just an opinion! And the alpine Type-R's are cheaper if you get them off of ebay $110 each
Then what u are really after is SQL & not just SQ .
I'd also suggest IMAGE DYNAMICS subs , cause i read ALOT of reviews & its been said they are the closest subs that can step up to JL (@ about 1/2 the price btw) . Go to thier website & check them out - i myself am seriously considering buying 2 12s IDQ series ....
They sound much better IMO, the SPL between the two is very close, Type Rs will usually be slightly louder, though, but the difference is little enough that I'd take the IDQs every time.
definatly go with the IDQ's. I have 2 12"s in my car and they sound amazing, I thought my alpines sounded good untill I got these. I'm only putting 300 watts into each sub and they can get pretty loud when I want them to.I'm saving up so I can get 2 12" ID MAX. Oh man I can't wait.
