My new setup.

[Demi 10+ year member]

Well after alot of reading i think ive made my mind up on what im gonna get. Im buying a 1991 Accord Wagon tuesday, which is gonna be sweet for a system. I already have a Alpine MRD-M1005 and a CDA-9857.

So here is what else i had planned.

• 12" Alpine Type-X in 2.5cubes 32hz box.
  
• Alpine MRV-F345
  
• 6.5" Pioneer REV Components
  
• Dynamat Extreme Bulk Pack
  

Im not sure but i think the backs are 6x9s, either way i was thinking some infinity 2-ways. How does all that sound?

Also do you think this will require a second battery? The one that is in there is just some generic thing. Big three upgrade will happen the day i get it.

Is this a budget system? If so you can get better for less. Take the Dynamat bulk pack. More deadener can be had for less is you search around.

Not really a budget system, i really want the Type-X, but if i can save money in other areas without comprmising SQ then by all means. Where can a get a good Dynamat substitute?

theres better than the type x for the money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

For instance?

edead v1se2 is a comparable deadener and is less than half the cost i think. i got 250 sq ft for 400 bucks.

Right on but what about the speakers?

 

[xluben 10+ year member]

rev's are great for under $100, but if you have a bigger budget you could do better (components) and you don't need rear speakers.

maybe an SI BM for that amp, but it could be a bit too much power.

also look into the Fi subs.

 

[Demi 10+ year member]

Im pretty dead set on the Type-X as SQ is a big factor for me, and the reviews ive read have been outstanding. CA&E tied it at #2 of their 10 best subs with a sub that costs MUCH MUCH more. As far as rear speakers go i want my passengers to enjoy my system as well, but i dont need nearly the SQ back there as up front. What compents would you recommend over the REVs? The only reason i picked the Alpine amp for the speakers is because it matches the one i have now, but thats not really a big deal to me if i can find something as good for cheaper.

never heard a type x but the type r are worth your money so the type x has to be better

 

[xluben 10+ year member]

do not consider ca&e's reviews credible at all!

Well i dont consider any one source a creditable source with it comes to something as subjective as speakers. The way it was described by members on this forum is really what put me on to it. I bought the M1005 with the X in mind. I dont want UBER output because im stationed in Germany, and man do those guys have some sound ordenaces......good lord. But anyway, these will be my first compnents ever, so i dont know much about them. I had just heard that the REV were really good for the money but im open to suggestions.

Bump.

hahahahah //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif :laugh: made my day.

back on topic.

I would look into an IDMax, great SQ and I think would be cheaper than getting the Type X.

wire it down to 2 ohms and u got a perfect 1,000 rms to the sub. And in a 2.5 tuned to 32hz would be killer.
