I just got my new system together and I went from two Type-R 12's to two RE SE 12's. Im actually kind of disappointed between the switch. Even after building a new box for the SE's.
So im thinking about starting over again. I listen to alot of rap but I listen to a litte bit of everything too you know?
I wanna know what woofer I should get to get my fix.
This is going in a Expedition... Im going to have about 1000-1500rms to play with (stock 130alt.. dont have the money to pay to play with more power)
I was originally going to do 4 RE SE's if I got an upgraded alt but im kind of straying from the new alt upgrade.
My options ive been looking at.... RD alpha.. RE SX... Fi Q....Fi BL.
Oh and most likely I will be doing a single 15 or 18.
I had a shop in town build my first box... it had only 20-25 in2 of port supposivly tuned to 35hz. It did hit hard but it didnt feel clean and the lows lacked.
This box I tuned to 33.5-34htz I thought at least. It was 4.17 or close to that with... so with the sub in it was 4cuft.
This box alos has 64in of port area.
It just lacks the mid end and the lows slam... They just seem like they should be slamming way more.
My amp is a hinfonics 1500 (i know its overrated so I figure around 1000-1100 watts they are seeing so that should be fine)
im currently doing a 1 12 R for a guy in a hatchback civic sub 4ward & today we tried it out in his car & giving the sub 700+ wrms & it was unbearable to sit in the car , sub never moved more than 3\4" ...
Yea I know, I had two Type-R's and it was loud enough to ring my ears. I thought I was going with an upgrade (the SE's) but its definitly not what i was looking for.
Hey rovin, could you send me the box plans for that 1 12" ? I told my buddy I would build him a box for his and I was looking for a good setup. Its going in older lexus es300 so as long as the box heighth isnt too tall it should fit.
Austin, I have a buddy with a 15in Rd Sonance v.2 that he's selling along with a ported box 3.3 cuft 34hz, should take 1000-1200 daily. just let me know
Type -R get amazingly loud for their price. They are a great budget sub. The RE SE are a better quality sub, but i'n not so sure they will be any louder but they should sound A Lot better. I currently run 2- 18" Alphas(fixin to add a 3rd) and I love the way they sound. IF you want a "musical" 18" sub, Try the Sonance. I would not hesitate to put it against the Fi Q anyday for SQ and output. BUT, see what options you have with your current setup before investing in yet another setup. just my .02. Good Luck
Lol its cool Charlie. I hope I didn't come off as an azz how I wrote that haha. I was bitter about something that day. But yea, we own V3s while the newest versions are the V4s and only in 12".
