Alpine Type-R's or Fosgate P3's???

there is 2 Rockford Fosgate P3 12's in the classifieds with warrantee left on them from best buy that i was pondering about, and i am also pondering about 2 12in alpine type-r's...

i just built a vented box that is 4.4cuft tuned to 32hz and was wondering which would be better for that box???

what would be the differance in them?

The R's have great low end that the P3's will not. I had the P3's a while ago and got rid of them as quick as I could. The R's were a big improvement. 2-2.5 cu per sub in the low 30's and they will pound with good power. Hands down they are the winner.

it looks like i just need to break the bank and buy some darn type-r's, i will be buying them at best buy just because of the warrantee. i might just buy one from there for the warrantee and buy another one used and use the warrantee for both to make up for paying retail for one of them hehe.

Good luck with that.

you can get them for around 110 or so online, bb will be priced rather high IIRC

it worked well for my old fosgate system... i bought 6 12's used and 2 from best buy at retail and probably blew 10+ of them and they swapped me for new ones with no questions asked.

Dude the P3's are a joke.. a single 10 inch type R would hammer all over two 12" P3's

 

[Badfastbusa 10+ year member]

they are 219.99 at BB

If anything buy them from Cruchfield, they come w/ warranty and will give you a little bit of a break in price ( $199 ) , athough you can get them from like 100 bones other places if you wanna go the no warranty route
