PM Jco1385, he has a Type X in a 2.0 ported tuned to 30hz in his car and its a low end monster. But dont quote me on the box specs lol.

His sub is quite loud down low though..

Shouldn't this be in a different section???Meh....oh well.

2.3 cubes at 31hz. double baffle the front. it'll tear your trunk apart lol.

It's an SQ sub, not an SPL sub.

No actually, you're getting banned like asap.

haha funny. did someone really call it a SQ sub?

I totally wouldn't think that at all of the type X but I guess im wrong. ehh

HAHA

WTF

Why are type R's louder...why is the type x alpines the "SQ line"

What the **** do you know?

 

[RKPsk8er 10+ year member]

I think the X's are louder than R's but require more power to do so.

I like your ignorant responses though. Are you like 12?

Would you like to see an spl sub?

Do you know what defines an spl sub?

....

Type X subs were geared more towards SQ, they are not an SPL sub.

I have seen SPL subs. As for a definition no, I don't know exactly what defines SPL other than the fact that its designed toward being loud over accurate.

I did read that the type X has great precise and SQ for being such a loud sub. I also believe the type X to be louder than type R's with the right amount of power.

I can handle being wrong but you don't have to be a douche about it. I started the thread to get information. Not to argue.

I don't really see what the point the argument is anyways. I just want to know a good combination of volume, port area, and tuning to make this sub pound hard and loud.

SPl = R

SQ = X

imo R is louder, owned both... a LOT of Rs. a few xs.
