Well it did it again (I think) I havent pulled the speaker yet. What is the best solution to stop those jumpers from coming out? Just use speaker wire to connect the two terminals?

It could be a 2009 type r if you crank the gain and volume you will fvck any subwoofer up

hey off topic i just bought one alpine type r 2012 model and im still not in the states to install it yet but so far how do you like these new type r

Well, i cant give you an accurate review on sound quality, because my system is running off the factory head unit at the moment. As far as loudness, they get pretty loud. I'm sure you would be hard pressed to find a speaker better than the new type r for the money, and that has the power handeling capabilitys of the type r. I got my set of speakers for 300 bucks shipped. At 150 a speaker I think the perfomance of the woofers is excelent.

I would somehow increase the size of the jumper tip to make the fit tighter, or just use a thick piece of speaker wire.

^This my 3rd gen Type R (model before this) I got it off the floor and the banana plugs we're kind of loose, then I blew it playing Bass I love you and got a NEW one free! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Is there a downfall to using speaker wire instead of jumpers?

If they arent visible because they are in the speaker box what would it matter?

exactly. you would never see the wire. my friend had to do this with his because of the same problem. i cant remeber what size wire he used tho

from my experience with a pair of late 2000's Type S's. Those jumper ends should also fit inside the speaker wire hole on the push down voice coils instead of going straight down into the top jumper holes
