1 15" Fully Loaded BTL or 2 15" Alpine Type R's both ported and tuned which would be louder/better with everything factored in?

I'd say 2 Type Rs cuz of cone area

Depends on if you can give them the specs they need then would be close either way

probably btl would be my guess..

What amp would you use to run the sub/subs?

 

[bass-aholic 10+ year member]

Its a close call but it all depends on how much cubic feet and wattage.

If I got the BTL it would be a fosgate 2000 1bd and if I got the type r's either a memphis pr 1000d or a fosgate 1000 1bd. The t2000 amp is very power hungry though and the BTL route is much more costly then the type r's.

type rs, they need alot less power and you get 2x the cone area

I would rather have a btl.

type r's by far. wtf, 2 15's against one? This isn't even a competition.

If the Type R's are going to save you lots of guap >200-300 dollars then definately go with the R's. Less to worry about electrically with the memphis 1000d.

Type R's are definitely starting to sound much more appealing. If I had the wads of cash for it I'd just go two BTLs just because no1 around my area has them and they seem to be very strong subwoofers. I don't have as much faith in the Type R's only because I've never seen them ran personally and don't know how well they perform compared to others and have heard their durability may be questionable. Now if I go with the Type R's is the Memphis amp sufficient and what would some of you recommend building the box to? How big and where should the tune be for the loudest and best sq mix I can get?

Yeah, you can't really compare TWO 15's to just one.

As long as you have the room to run two 15's...which alot of people dont (assuming you have a suv of some kind).

Personally, i'd take the btl (well, that's why I run one!) because it's be more "impressive." Single sub setups ftw!

this.

Think they will be placed in like an 03 Jeep Liberty Renegade or Sport.

 

[power-fanatic07 5,000+ posts]

depends if you want to spend the extra cash on amp/electrical.

IMO i would go with the btl

How much space do you even have to work with? If you have enough space for 5 cubes why not run an 18" BTL?
