Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassPost Number: 139 Registered: Jul-05 | what are you going to power them with and what kind of box are you going to put them in? i have mine in a slot ported box with 3 cuft on each one and i like it but im sure theres better ways of doing it. if you go sealed tell me how it sounds. |

Silver Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 103 Registered: Oct-05 | i got a slot port box that is 1.7cu ft. i was thinking i can power them with my kx1200.1 for now until whenever i have enough money for another amp. since my amp is 1200watts rms at 1ohm, i figure i can parallel connect them both. only if i had the money to buy 2 jl audio 1000/1. that would be perfect. aren't they 1000rms at 2 ohms? |

Silver Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 104 Registered: Oct-05 | Rovin-yeah the price was irrisistable. i am only paying 30 dollars more for this than the r's that i was about to buy yesterday. although it is used, hopefully it is in excellent condition like the seller stated. |

Silver Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 105 Registered: Oct-05 | true. the type r's would have been a lot better with my kicker. now i have to think about buying another kx1200.1 and possibly a new alternator. but still i think 1 kx1200.1 will do a decent job on the pair of type x. it can't sound worse than the audiobahns i have now. |

Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 282 Registered: Aug-05 | the type X's will be 200% better than the audiobahns you had. |

Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassPost Number: 140 Registered: Jul-05 | 1.7 cuft seems a little small to me. Alpine says they should be around 1.5 sealed so i dont know how that will sound. i agree 2 kicker 1200.1 would pound the hell out of them. |

Silver Member Username: RzarectorCoquitlam, Bc Canada Post Number: 733 Registered: Dec-04 | u really should go sealed with the type x's .. they suit a sealed box over a ported.. 2 cu ft is the max "Gross" volume that alpine recommends.. if u go to much over u will encouter promlems at higher volumes |

Silver Member Username: BestmankindPost Number: 106 Registered: Oct-05 | so about 1.5 sealed would be good than. maybe if i put some polyfill inside it will deepen it a little more. the biggest box i can have in my trunk is 1.7 cu ft. i have more space than that but getting it in the trunk is the problem than. |

Silver Member Username: Rob_pregRoyal oak, Michigan United states Post Number: 117 Registered: Sep-05 | i have one type-x 10" with a kicker kx600.1 and it pounds, even in a wrong enclosure. Im so pissed i didnt get a custom box for it. Ur kx1200 for two of them should be enough for now to get them moving, cuz ur still giving each of them around 700w, since ur amp is probably giving out around 1400w |
