    I like that infinity k1000 but itll be pushing a sub thatll take 3000 rms at 4 ohms right? I just want background deep bass dont want to drown out stock speakers.. i usually listen to my music around half or less because thats where the stock sub's sweet spot is..

    Oh dual 4 ohm coils would let it run at 2 ohms through the amp? That opens up a lot of options. I'll do a little shopping and come back with a few amps for yall to analyse. And 2ft3 sounds more like a good size.. im lost on why people dont use ported boxes...

    So the xtr-1500s might push a 4 ohm sub decently? Basically you need a higher power amp if you're powering a 4 ohm sub? I will probably have a decent sized ported box I think I read the X suggests 1cu foot of air in the box but that sounds kinda small... I would have gotten 2 R's but I just...

    Hey all thank you for your replies. Perhaps it is an overpriced sub but I just wanted one quality sub that will hit the highs and lows and just do it right. Back in the day I had a lot of luck with a pair of alpine type r’s. So I guess it’s just what I know. But I am looking for low frequencies...

    Hey everyone, I just ordered a 12" Alpine type X 4 ohm dual voice coil subwoofer. I believe I want a vented box for a deeper tone and more reverberation, but I am unsure of what internal volume would be best or if there is an ideal amplifier to pair it to besides the $500 Alpine X amplifier...
