I'm glad to see this thread. I've got the Type R comps also and the Alpine HU can't push them beyond the 20 setting. I've been contemplating what to get to push them for the longest time. Almost got the Alpine T220, but I've got to power the deck speakers also. Say what you will, I...

Type-R components dang it Mine are running off the HU now, but I'm told they need to be fully powered to be appreciated. FinestDeals or something on Ebay could probably get you under $200. High's are awesome! Lows are very impressive for them to be just 5x7's! I'm suprised by how well...

Hahaha ... I got the Best Buy warranty I want to find out I bought that amp there pretty cheap and got the warranty, so I hate to not use it. I learned too late that they can be purchased much, much, cheaper off of Ebay! At any rate maybe I'll just let this one run at full output since it...

Yep...I should have got a bigger amp initially. Thanks! CobraGT

No, as in not possible? Anyone got a link to any prior discussions of this? CobraGT

Is it possible to drive a 4 ohm DVC subwoofer at 2 ohms with two identical amps? I have an Alpine MRP-M350. Driving each voice coil with a seperate amp is pointless given this model amp is 350 W RMS at 2 ohm and 200 W RMS at 4 ohm. It would only gain an additional 50 watts while driving each...

Alpine Type-R components with plenty of power!

Mustang interiors ****!!! Horrible! Fit is very poor! If it didn't go fast, sound good, and look good on the outside...I wouldn't have one. Installer broke a piece on the hold used to pull door shut while installing type-r components. They shouldn't have broke the plastic clip, but that...

Eugenics, you like to have a lower or higher power amp. Alpine has a 2 channel at 50 W RMS and 4 channel with 40 W RMSx4 bridged it's 100 W RMSx2 I think with a max of 360 W overall. The type R's might be capable of handling a little more though. It would be very comforting to know they were...

Got em! ...And they're awesome! The clarity is beautiful. Had the tweeters mounted at side mirror level in the Mustang. Sounds great. Powered by the reciever the tweeters are not obnoxiously high. Just right. Installer liked it and agreed with me that an amp would make the components...

I'll let you know tomorrow night after the install!!! The 5x7 weighs 13 lbs. gross! Hopefully the tweeter won't be too much. My daily driver has two sets of tweeters up front...so I should be prepared for these in the Mustang. I hope they will sound good for the time being at 18 W RMS from...

Cool! Tell me more!!! Is the speaker your friend used dual 2 or 4 ohm? Let me see if I can answer this...the MRP-M350 is 2 ohm; therefore, it is dual 4's. Am I right?! This is my setup minus the speaker enclosure. I've heard very good things here about the TCAB box. I'm VERY tempted to...

Even yourself, now I want an SX! How is the 35 Hz tuning? Do you feel like music quality suffers any? I know nothing about tuning, but realize pushing a 12" type-r with a 350 watt Alpine V-Power mono amp might warrant a vented box to be most efficient. I want to feel the lows, but keep...

I checked out TCAB website. Love the vids!!! Any good production boxes made by makers like Q-Logic or others? Or is a custom built box the only way to go. Venting it right would be my biggest challenge. Getting a tune I'd prefer might be an even harder task! Making it flat enough to slide...

If this has already been mentioned, sorry . There's a ton of good info in this thread, but ALOT to sort through!!! Anyone try this box out? I don't really have the time to build one, so I'm hoping something like this will do. This would be the 1.25 CU FT version. I think they are tuned to...
