Alpine X (help me tweek)

[sporty_drew 10+ year member]

I just picked up an Alpine Type X 12. My first box i built was a 1.5^ft (after displacement) sealed box with 700 watts running to it. I felt that the sub wasn't hitting as accurately as it could, so i built a .8^ft (after displacement) sealed box with 850 watts running to it and the sub hits more accurately, but it just doesn't seem to go as low as i think it should.

A friend of mine has 2 Alpine Type R's and I'm basing all of this on how these sounded to me. Is this all because i just have 1 X and 2 R's can outperform it so much? If i were to get 2 Alpine X's would i get that drop that i want? Thanks alot, Drew

Edit: His R's are in 1.6^ft sealed boxes and each have 850 watts going to them.

Try to find yourself a more powerful amp. That x is hollerin for more power. Find a 1000 wrms that actually does 1000 or better and try it back in 1.5 cu. ft... you should notice an improvement from your previous trials
