New member Username: Trussell456Post Number: 3 Registered: Apr-09 | i am looking to buy 2 12 inch subs. I have a budget of about 400 bucks. I want 4 ohm dvc subs so i can run one on each of my mono amps at 2 ohms. I believe thats right. I really want the subs to sound good but loud at the same time, i know thats hard to find but what do you guys suggest i buy. Its very important i get them for about 400, no more. |

New member Username: Trussell456Post Number: 5 Registered: Apr-09 | I have 2 alpine SWR-1242D type-r's. I just got the second amp and had ran them on just one previously. Do you think they will be a lot louder with the second amp? i uninstalled them about a month ago, in the process of getting new vehicle, will the type r's be a lot louder than they were with just one 500 watt amp? I was looking at the AQ SDC2.5 anybody use these? I havent heard much about the CVR. can get 2 on ebay for 150 Really looking into the RE SE. get 2 for 300 on ebay. what about a diamond d6? or the d3 since the d6 is a little over 400. does the d3 compare with the others? should i pay a little more and get the d6's or the final question, should i just stick with my r's. Since they will def be louder with 2 amps, esp since they were ran at 4 ohms before giving each sub maybe 200 watts or less, and now they will be getting 500. |

New member Username: Trussell456Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-09 | i dont even know the dimensions. its an older r/t sealed box. but i think its 1.25 cubic feet per sub, which is just about perfect for a ported box, so i get a few tube ports and port it my self, tuned to 33 or 34 hertz. what do you think would be best? i am very handy and could easily port it myself without ruinging the box or anything |

New member Username: Trussell456Post Number: 7 Registered: Apr-09 | i dont know if its strappable. but cant i just run one sub off each amp? Thus a 2 ohm load and 500 watts to each sub? The reason i posted this topic is because i could sell my type r's in a heartbeat around where i live so if there is something better in that price range that would still work off those two amps then i would go for it and sell the r's. On 500 RMS will the RE SE's be as loud as the r's? they will of course sound better i would imagine, but i want them to be loud also |

Bronze Member Username: DangerangerOhio United States Post Number: 44 Registered: Mar-09 | x2 what Jack said, I bet the Se's would sound real nice. Is building a new box out of the question? |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 11373 Registered: Jun-04 | That amp may be a few years old but it produces 750-800 rms birthsheet tested at 14.4. I had a mtx 81000d and sold it. I recently bought another. They are solid amps but make sure not to use the compression switch. |

New member Username: Trussell456Post Number: 8 Registered: Apr-09 | on the alpine site it says between .75 and 1.75 cubic feet for ported box. and it says the optimum volume of a vented box for it is 1.3 cubic feet? Is this wrong information. because this is also what it said on the manual that came with the subs when i bought them? building a new box isnt out of the question so should i build one around 2 cubic feet each? even though alpine says 1.3 is optimal? |

Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 3029 Registered: May-07 | The type- r's are not bad sounding by any means and will sound better and still be loud in a ported box 1.75-2 ^3 ft. tuned to ~35 hz. 2 12" R's should have nno problen hittin a 142+ legal in a trunk car on rated power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_xu8FrXjY0&feature=related not the best vid, but you get the idea. These are in a 2.5 ^3 ft/sub box |
