I read somewhere on here that a type r is louder then a type x, from several people.

I listened to a set of Type S speakers and 1 12'' type R in the alpine ported box and the SQ flat out shocked me. I think im going to get full type S speakers in my Jeep.

Fancy looking doesn't matter a whole lot to me, I just want something that sounds good and slams.

boomy and tight...doesn't go together

this is unless you want an SQL woofer?

The type-X has more potential to get louder.

How so?

How so?

Better power handing, bigger xmax. It will DEFINETLY be louder sealed.

Ported? Type-X hates ported //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

With that qts and it's EBP, I see no reason to port if you like SQ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

If a $200 sub is going to be outperformed by one that costs $100, why buy it? Even if they're real close.

Current considerations-

15 SX

2 Type R 12

15 IA LI

So it WILL be louder due to better power handling(which will be dependant upon the application) and more Xmax?

You do realize there is quite a bit more to loudness than the powerhandling, which is pretty much a useless figure in the SPL scene anyways, and Xmax. The larger spec on Xmax mean nothing other than the driver has the CAPABILITY for more LINEAR throw. Once you start getting up in power in the SPL scene, you can throw linearity out the window. Specs can only tell you so much and something they cannot tell you is that one will be louder than another.

Im an Alpine freak, id get 100% Alpine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Type R or X Components on a MRV-F345

Type R or X - 12" Ported on a MRD-M1005

and an Alpine Headunit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd say the output and clarity are above average.

aaaannd....

I have never, ever had a problem with an Alpine product in 15 years.

 

[JeffyZ33 10+ year member]

Well my friend had 3 BNIB RE8s that he will sell me for $70 total, so I think i'll go for them for now. Any objection?

look at the massive audio CW15 http://www.massiveaudio.com/lowband/products/subwoofers/competition/cw-15.html

very good sub for the money gets loud

 

[r1dermon 10+ year member]

one thing i will say about alpine is the type r 15" is probably one of the best 15" subs i've heard for the price. however, i still feel that in the 12" class there's better out there for the price.
