I'm look to see which ones are better overall I guess.. I am just looking at those subs. I really am looking at a pair of tens. I want to run 1000watts or a little more each. I've heard about the aspin type-r's, how are they? I mean is it good to have an amp with the sub? I have been looking at these two subs also. the Power Acoustik MOFO-10 Car Subwoofer and the Alpine SWX-1042D Car Subwoofer. Which of the three are better in general (clean and crisp, and a hard hitting). I would perfer an enclosed box, but it's not a have to have kinda thing. I usually listen to rap, rock. If there are some websites anyeone could help me out with in learning about car audio that would be much appreciated. thanks.

alpine type x if you have atleast 900 rms to each, then you will wang really loud and crisp and tight....type x delivers the nicest bass ive herd, in the right setup

so tens not 12's like mentioned?

Yes tens are what I'm thinking. I have a little ranger ext.cab so I thought 2 tens would work better then twelves, but I was looking into them because I am curious. I'm sorry I don't mean to confuse anyone. What would you think would work best in my my pickup.

Id have to go with the type X on this one.. L7s get louder, but you said you wanted it clean and crisp.. A lot easier to get a type X sounding like that than it is an L7.. L7s like ported boxes anyways.. Those type Xs should still have decent output while sounding great..

if you want sealed, get the new Kicker CVX 12's, 1.25 sealed and will handle the same amount of power as the L7, and work in smaller sealed boxes.
