This thread cracks me up...
MTX's only decent SQL sub is the 9500. THe 8000's are miserable, 6000's aren't worth 50 bucks, and well the 4500 or whatever they are now, they are good for a 13 year old.
Alpines E and S **** miserably, would not ever contenplate buying one. Type-r was my first choice in a sub a few years ago, they were out, ended up getting a diamond CM3 and could not be happier. Havn't heard the Type-x, and I have a feeling no more than 2 in this thread have actually heard it in car, but I've heard they are quite nice.
But all in all, who really gives a shit....
