Alpine Type X

[lukeduke28 10+ year member]

not me...my dude owns an audio shop, alpine authorized, and mine were purchased from authorized vendor--that i made sure of. Besides, i'll probably never see more than 1000rms since i never turn my alpine past 23-24 out of 35 and i set my gains by ear at volume 25.

Wat kind of box are they in????

Im thinkin bout gettin these alpine type x's but i need to no if the price is worth the value of the sub????

if you want something that makes you say daym that is loud, no but if you want something that isnt going to drown out your highs but get sooo low its ridiculous for needing close to no airspace and sounding unlike any other sub yes.

hey guys! got two quick questions... what has better sq? 12" type X sub or the 12w7? and could a alpine pdx 1000.1 (its a 2ohms amp) power a 12w7 with no problems?

probably the w7, but i havent heard either. If you are having a hard time justifying the price on the X, good luck with the w7. Ive heard both are awesome, but the JL is superior in most aspects.

yes im having a very hard time deciding between the 12w7 and the type x. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Ive found the X and the W7 to sound about the same..(at least in a SUV).... However, both **** in the recone catagory....if you fry either you now have a giant doorstop. Not even the magnet is worth saving / or selling for that matter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

i say the type x

Im gettin 2 of these type x's should i get a sealed or ported....Wat would sound better

 

[Hintzyboy 5,000+ posts]

Ported will be louder, sealed will sound better

 

[espguitarist91 10+ year member]

i say a low tuned ported box. Maybe around 4-5 cu. ft. tuned to 30

should sound awesome. Are you going to power them both off a 1606d? if so let me know how it goes because i was thinking of doing that also, but figured i wouldnt have the power to drive both.
