Alpine Type-S 12 vs. RE 12

[slickmoney7 10+ year member]

as of right now my current set-up is a 12" Alpine Type-S running off an Alpine MRP-M350... i liked my setup but ever since i moved it from my old car (a sedan) to my new one (an SUV) it hasnt sounded the same. I thought it would sound awesome in an open cabin suv as compared to being in a trunk but i guess not. Im not sure if there is something wrong with the box or even the sub but if anyone has any ideas on how to rule some things out im open to hear them. Another reason y i think there may b a problem is because my friend has a 10" MTX gettin around 200watts and it makes my sub sound like booty.......but anyway......im thinkin of selling the type s and just get somethin else temporarily.....which is y i ask about the RE 12. I know Resonant Engineering is a quality brand from reading this forum. So i ask...would an RE 12 b a good replacement for my booty Alpine type-s?

Youve got a SUV Mang, be like Galacticmonkey and throw three 15" Type R's in TCAB's and three BX1606D's in the back

and how hard can u run an RE 12... as in max rms??

Look into the 12'' SE youll be better off. It will move more air then both the type s and the re which you will need in an SUV.

Further more, was your friends 10'' mtx in a SUV ?

thanx for the reply...

yea my friends mtx was in an suv

and

basically right now im saving up to buy 2 12" SE's so right now im just lookin for somethin to last me a couple more months or mayb a year:crap:

and

from wat ur telling me, the reason my sub sounds crappier in the suv than in my old car is because it has more air to move correct?
