COMPLAINT!!! / Also Type X questions

[brandontw 10+ year member]

Heres the complaint, even thought it is probly out of peoples power. The three letter minimum in they search is crap! How are you supposed to search for type x information when it takes the x out so you just search for "type"...that brings up over 900 pages of results!!!! this is only one example, this is pretty much the only problem that has plaged me scince i have been a member on this forum, but its a real pain in the A$$!!

**steps off soapbox**

Now scince i cant get info on Alpine type x subs i will have to ask for it. if you can find another thread about it you could link me to it.

Im going to downgrade my system from 4-10's to one 10" and i want a good one, my budget is 2-300 for the sub, and another 200ish for the amp to run it.

right now i pretty much have narrowed it down to an mtx 9500 10" but im open to suggestions, and i would also like to know if the type x is good for the money(200$) i know its little brother is very respectable, as i built a system for my freind with one. can you seal a type x? SQ???? i just want to know about its rep so far.

what about jumping on the RE bandwagon? Or even Adire when the new subs ship. Then there's always the RL-i. Just throwing ideas around. The Type X is supposed to be kick ***, but there are other cheaper subs available.

spl or sq? type x seems cool, seen em for 199 on ebay for a 10". IMO 9500 mtx be louder, type x sound better,box dependant of course.

i had the type X 12's

great SQ, drop really really low, make sure you have dedicated midbass though

the type X isnt the loudest sub i have ever head, plenty loud for a guy interested in SQL like myself though. the one i heard was in a F-350, in a sealed box. it is one of the better subs i have heard. i dont know many speakers that can play as low and as tight as that one.

What about a used IDMAX 10, there's some on ebay. Brahma 10's? Used XXX 10, if you can find one.

What about Audiobahn?

I'd forget them.

type X is one of the best SQ subs period - the 9500 will have much more potential to get louder though.

How does the IDMax V3 fit in?

 

[HotCarl 10+ year member]

imo...

SQ--IDmax > Type X

SPL--Type X > IDmax

im sure you can do setups to flip it around though

See that doesn't make sense to me...

I thought the type x wasn't good spl wise...

something tells me hotcarl hasnt used both woofs.

the X ISNT as loud as the IDmax... and IMO it sounds better. The numbers you can't argue though.
