I would put all 4 bolts in but the car only has 2 drilled holes for them. I put 2 layers of peal and seal, holy **** thats quite a difference. For all other places like license plate and 3rd brake light, I put a bunch of rubber pieces which also help a lot. thx guys

thats waht i was thinkin too. thx bro

hi guys. I have the Alpine MRD-M301 amp powering my 10" type R. The instruction manual on that amp is straight BS and its basicly useless. I have all crossovers, and phase shift set up, but I cant seem to figure out the settin for PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER (P.EQ). first option is on/off. then we have...

well I have a 10" type R in a ported enclosure. the problem is my car is cheap shit (huyndai accent) and when i turn the volume up the back window rattles like hell. The brake light thats below my window hits the window and makes a very awfull noise. Can I just stick some rubber pieces in there...

oh man im tired of this. Iv made 3 seald boxes and wanna learn to make good enclosures but all of them sound like shit compared to the stock boxes my friends buy. So I guess its time for me to try my luck with a ported enclosure, which I really doubt Ill get right..... thx for the help

if it is the voice coil how could I tell if it is really damaged cuz the sub is pounding really hard and getting full excursion.

well first of all its in the trunk of a huyndai accent close to the back seat facing the back of the trunk. As Shinobi said I think 1 of my voice coils could be messed up since i can see it comin apart slightly ( a small strand of wire is cut ). The box is definately not leaking and I also tried...

i just installed a 10" type R in a 0.7" cu ft sealed box and it is getting powered by alpine M301 . When I am driving the car I get rich bass but when in jump in the back the bass is distorted and sounds hollow. The box as a whole sounds hollow. It is completely sealed. A friend suggested adding...

Huyndai accent. Iv done a lot of sealed and thats why I would like to try ported since my previous subs haven't been good enough to port and sound good. I am not too picky about sound quality as long as it sounds decent.

SQL ???? well id like to get as much pound as possible from this sub. But I also would like some SQ and if that means sacrifise SPL then im fine with that.

what tuning frequency would u recomend for a 1.0 - 1.25 cu.ft with a 10" Type R. Also what port diameter should i choose. THX

thx, well i guess the RF is an option too even tho I preferedd to keep it all alpine.

or do i downgrade to Type S if I am using same amp.

thx for the help. I think Ill go with the alpine. Are those Type R's gonna sound decent with 225 RMS each @ 2 ohm, or is more power required, asuming I am looking for decent SPL and SQ. thx again

Im stuck picking between 3 amps for my system: Alpine MRD-M501, Rockford P6001, Kicker 400.1 .the alpine and rockford are about the same price, kicker is cheaper. Which one would satisfy 2 10" Type R's to the best. These are the amps in my price range that my dealer provides. Is there any other...
