Disappointed by my type x 12

New member Username: Russ636Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-07 | I just bought a type x 12 and my amp is a mrd1005. It sounds weak. Its wired right, box is good. They tell me I need more than 1000 watts to push this sub. How much power do I need? What would be the best amp? IT SOUNDS WEAK!!! HELP!!! |

New member Username: Russ636Post Number: 8 Registered: Mar-07 | The amp is an alpine mrd1005. 1147 clean watts. Box is a sealed .75 cubic ft mounted in the trunk of my G35. I am returning the amp tommorow and thinking of going with an Alpine pdx1.1000. Should I dump this sub, get a new box, or try a new amp? Am I just wasting money trying to get this sub to hit hard? |

New member Username: Russ636Post Number: 9 Registered: Mar-07 | How large of a ported box? Will this speaker get loud in a ported box? Will a RF power 2000db push this sub? |
|
Silver Member Username: Solobaric4lifeSeminole, Al United states Post Number: 422 Registered: Jan-07 | Will a RF power 2000db push this sub? that amp pushes well over the rated 2000rms, my cuz has 1, pushes nearly 2500rms truly |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL My wangers b... Post Number: 1956 Registered: Mar-06 | Well if you get that amp and want that power you need to do power system upgrades to, and a bigger box with porting is always louder then sealed IMO |

Bronze Member Username: Allstar13Houston, Texas Post Number: 94 Registered: Jul-06 | i got an idea get a diffrent sub and give me your type x |
|
Bronze Member Username: Russ636Post Number: 12 Registered: Mar-07 | I pulled the speaker out of the box and one of the v-coil jumpers wasnt all the way in. Now it hits load and clear. I still need a bigger ported box but I am having trouble finding one that fits in my small trunk. Any suggestions on manufacturers that I should look into? |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacIL My wangers b... Post Number: 1960 Registered: Mar-06 | Talk to mark potts he is the Type R expert... im sure he would still know somthing about the X.. he has a good reputation with custom boxes... and ^i agree with ctmike, only kind of box i would buy prefab is a sealed box... ported never again. |

Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 317 Registered: Mar-06 | The type X is a great woofer - its quiet 100% because of the box. Don't waste your $ on the amp, the sub won't handle it in that box.... but with a nicely made ported box (nudge nudge =)) you could throw more power down, although I still wouldn't suggest more than 1500 watts. |

|
Bronze Member Username: Russ636Post Number: 13 Registered: Mar-07 | The type x is rateed at 1000 rms and 3000 max. I think I need a 1.8 cu ft ported box but my trunk is tiny. Can anyone out there build me one for a good price? |

Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 321 Registered: Mar-06 | www.spkrman.com for the best type X box for your car I wouldn't waste the $ on a new amp, the difference will be marginal at best or less power. Lets not forget this is a dual 4 ohm woofer. |

Silver Member Username: SpkrmanChi town, IL U S A Post Number: 322 Registered: Mar-06 | CAREFULLY used, they can for a few minutes in the proper box. 1500 is really the limit of "safe"... and your still going to blow it with moderate clipping. The X can be cleanly taken to its limits without failure, but passing those limits is very easy since you can't really tell when its struggling. You know when the R is approaching its limits, it sounds like garbage once you really really push it. lol i forgot to post this... +1 for this wierd you have to preview forum. |
