[QUOTE="zako, post: 8200232, member: 629735"] Was that the old or the new Alpine Type-S? The latest edition has power handling rating up to 500watt RMS. The RE Audio SEX12D should be a good subwoofer for its price. Some guys on forums hate the company for having "sold out" to Chinese, but for the price $150 it's well built, honest subwoofer comparable to the best in this price range. The Type-R is probably even better: it is supposed to have more xmax travel and lower distortion. I think both will sound awesome if you setup right. The Type-R is optimized for smaller, closer to 1cu ft sealed box, while the RE SEx12 ideally wants something like 1.5-1.7cu ft, as you can check in box modeling software (ignore the recommendations from manufacturer). I am guessing that in this box RE sub may have a slightly better sensitivity and will dig deeper than Type-R in 1cu ft, but Type-R has more room for growth as it can handle up to 1000watt RMS power. Of course, if you listen your music loud, precautions should be taken to make sure that you do not overdrive your amplifier. High amplitude clipped signal can supposedly easily destroy subwoofers. However, I also wouldn't be all the surprised to hear that a properly installed and operated cheap subwoofer stopped working one day.. [/QUOTE]
