Alpine Type R Blown Voice Coil

[kat_black181 10+ year member]

One of my subs is blown (I think bad voice coil). I was wondering what the BEST but also cheapest route to go would be??? I sent a request in to fix my speaker . com. Should I allow them to fix it, or should I go with a new sub altogether?

dont bother fixing just a waste of time to be honest..sell the working one and buy a higher end sub

im running it off a hifonics brutus 1200 watt amp. Right now, the good one is fully hooked up. But I'm realllly new to all this...so I'm kinda clueless.

Yea thats a pretty decent amp man ..ditch the good type r ,,and buy a american bass xfl .. And have someone build you a custom box and it will be louder and sound better than both those type r.s...they r 182 bucks new..amazing for the money

Those less-than-$200 subs you were suggesting? which would those be? The guy who hooked them up for me wants me to get an RE to run in place of the blown one....they pretty much exclusively sell those at their audio shop here.

oh no please dont buy a re...they were good back in the day but the new stuff has gone to ****...american bass xfl are on ebay for 182 free shipping then get someone to build you a nice box

I think that sub is best bang for the buck on the market 1000 rms and can handle well over that,,in the right box they kill..what car u got?

Quit talking out of your a$$ man. Type r's are pretty good subs.

I would not get anything from RE unless it's older stuff. Check out Obsidian Car Audio

ok the subs are in a pretty massive ported box (dont know exact measurements, bought it second hand). i have a 05 nissan xterra. i reallllly like the subs, just need to recone or replace the one. im not really looking into getting something different completely. i want something i can go ahead and put into the box i have and run off the amp i have...
