Are Alpine Type R's an okay setup?

[tdstover 10+ year member]

I have a 2006 H3, and i was wondering if i got 2 12" alpine type R's, and also 2 6 1/2" alpine type R mids would sound good.

I want it to hit hard, but yet sound good.

Do you think this would be an okay setup?

The Alpine Type R speakers get loud, sound pretty good. I am not, however, a fan of their components.

The 12" Subs will be fine, as long as you PORT THEM and send them a solid 1000-1200w rms for the set.

My opinion is to get the subs and hold them, they're fine, but to consider a different set of Components.

Edit - what other components have you ever heard, if any?

R's are a very good sub for the money. and they can get loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Two R's ported at 33hz in a 4.5cf box

Send them 2000w and you will be happy

In my next setup, I am going to be running 2 12" R's on a Hifonics BXi2608D. It is an over-rated amp, so I hope to get ~2,000-2,200 watts rms out of it.

I know a couple guys that have R's, and they get very loud, and sound decent doing it.

preference....I do not consider it a hummer, nor an off road vehicle (which is what hummers are supposed to be IMO).

to me, it looks more like a woman's vehicle

you want a hummer, then go get an h1

I'm running a pair of them as I write. I'm pushing 2 12's w/a pdx1000.1,slot-ported enclosure.Also to help them out-150x4 pdx amp pushing 2 pair 6.5" R' co-ax's,and one set of components-type "R"-6.5"and the head unit-9847 Alpine.They do very well.All Alpine system for the moment--had some 12w6's in there ,I still have them and their vented box[they weren't cheap].Those subs do very well.
