12 - 12" hifonics HFI subs

lakota has given his 15" R ( might be a 12, unsure ) 2 sundown 3ks several times i'm pretty sure on tones and has yet to blow it as far as I know.

Back to original topic I'd do the 8 Hifonics subs ported.

148.3 on a tone, 138 at 31hz, and what looks to be a 146 on music - push that *****, push that ho.

so then the newer models are all that then? from the video's it seems like they are. ( i was talking about the old models btw ) do these guys push that reliably in daily drivers?

no clue? lakota doesn't as he was in a wreck recently.. ride totaled.

He didn't do daily, purely a comp ride.

1000 is safe on the new model R except for the 10".. I wouldn't try it on that..

I think alot of it is box but it just goes to show how much of a little monster the Type R is.

I am actually working on a build for a friend. 4 12" Hfi S4 subs off 1200w RMS - probably a BXi-1206d

well im glad i got some input on it. and honestly i would go with the type r's if i wanted to spend that much more money. but the idea of this build is to move as much air and kill the lows. therefor tuning the box around 32 hertz. and with the 8 12's i think itll do that better than 2 15" r's or whatever. itll just be cheaper to do the 8 12's and i think itll do what i want.

then that is all that matter, just had to offer my alternative to it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

( should you change your mind, Rs are a lot cheaper in the classifieds here lol )

Alpine Type Rs ...
like 124-126 shipped most places on the 12s.. I've given 12s 1000 watts daily.. just have to be careful on cranking the volume lol. check ebay.

I believe what you mean to say is the Type AARRRRGGGHHH!

yea they are kinda pricey for as long as they've been around nowadays. I got out of that soundstream phase ... not many companies I haven't owned stuff from lol.

can't say it's proven info.. but from my personal experience of owning 40+ of the 12s.. it's personal experience info lol. Never blew a single one, just had a hella lotta setups with them :/.

 

[rickymac21 10+ year member]

yea.. i would be willing to bet the xxx series are sick though... these i just cant stand.. they seem to be way over rated... o well. if i can sell them soon i will go ahead and play around with these hifonics.. build a sick wall and hopefully play around 146's on music... ill be content

well the ones I sold to my older bro are over 10 yrs old daily driven on 1100 per pair and they rock still lolz. but he is pretty conservative with his stuff and having 8 12's in a minivan helps alot with being easy on the volume lolz.
