New member Username: Sdbarber317Indianapolis, Indiana USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-10 | Hello I am new I would first like to say that I have appreciated this forum with all the information considering Alpine Type R subwoofers and Kicker L7 subwoofers To begin with, I am trying to decide on whether to get Kicker l7 subwoofers or Alpine Type R the kind of music that I listen to is rap r and b and jazz. I am looking for the bass to hit hard considering that I listen to rap from down south but the jazz that I listen to is like jazz najee richard elliot boney james and alot of instrumentals that come from jazz like outkast etc Now that you understand what kind of music I listen to I am looking to put these in a ported box that is premade I understand making your own box is better but I am looking to go the easy way out I am looking for a sub that I can feel the pressure of bass in my chest but also can produce frequency I understand that many people have kickers spl and alpines sql The amp that I am planning on using is mtx 1000xd mono block amp (in my price range) I am looking for either the l7 or alpine type r 12" subwoofer and I am looking for two of them and can the l7 have any sql at all and why? |

The R will sound better and be able to keep up with the double kick bass that is in Jazz, as opposed to the L7 which would tend to roll alot of the notes into a single blur of a noise. |

I am selling a type-x 12 for- 150+ shipping in like new condition and spend the money you're not dumping into 2 subs on a nice ported box. |
