2 12" r types or 1 12" eclipse titanium?
|
bassheadjosh Unregistered guest | Heres the deal, I've been reading alot of reviews. Its obvious that everyone loves the r types, it's also clear that the titanium subs are sweet as well. What will be louder/sound better? Also I want to make sure that I dont have roll off until about 80-0 hz. My current setup is a single 2" old school r type and it does ok between 25 and 65 hz, after that nothing. I had 3 10" planet audio subs before that rocked, good upper bass. yes I know planet is owned by boss, but they're subs really arent that bad. anyways, is there something I can do to extend my upper frequency? I have the box ported to about 30 hz now...any thoughts? yes, I know I need to register...but even if I did I coulndt actually log on at work.. |

Polo.. |

Silver Member Username: JronPost Number: 162 Registered: Jul-05 | yeah i own a type r, good solid sub for the money, but def. not better than an idmax, w6, or ti. If you can afford it, I'd go with one of those. I think the IDmax and w6 would sound really nice in that 80 hz range you are looking for. |

Bronze Member Username: __nick__Post Number: 18 Registered: Feb-06 | I have 2 Alpine Type R 12"s, about 650 watts running to each. I'm going to install 4 ALpine Type S speakers which are 50W rms each. WIll they be loud enough to support the Type R subwoofers? Will i still be able to hear the music? |

"Ya, ditch the type R, nobody likes them, REALLY " i dont know where you get that from.. seeing as how its one of the most popular subs out now.. they are a great subwoofer and do get LOUD for a fraction of the cost as higher end drivers.. im not saying woofer to woofer they can compare with an sx,ti etc.. but for the price u really cant beat it |

Bronze Member Username: __nick__Post Number: 19 Registered: Feb-06 | im not using an amp to the speekrs, just to my subs. I have hifonics BX1505D running to my subs but im not getting an amp for my speekrs, thats why i was wondering if they will still be fine, i havent hooked them up yet |

New member Username: BassheadjoshUtica, MI US Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-06 | Ok I registered. Whoever thought it was funny to use my name is a f@g. I like the r type, I'm just not quite happy with it dying out on me at roughly 60 hz. ah well. I have the 1221 and I want another one. I figure if I get another one and build a etter box it would prolbably help out significantly. |

New member Username: BassheadjoshUtica, MI US Post Number: 4 Registered: Feb-06 | problem is I have no place to put a mid. I've got 4" in the dash and 5 1/4" in the back. lol. no good low mids. even in most rap songs where they have a mix, my old planet audio subs could pick it up but the r type just...doesnt. |
