[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1134938, member: 554626"] From a alpine type R to a, Eclipse 7524 (SP) to a Lightning Audio VC2 I finally made my choice. So my alpine type R separated right where the VC to the cone was gains werent even half up, my dumbass friend stuck a screwdriver through the cone because it was blown already. BB wouldn't take it back. So I choked him and made him give me 100$ for my MTX. (He had a BB plan and upgraded to a Type R for me, he'll never see his 130$..) Went to the local toys with noise and got an Eclipse 7524 for 250$$. Hooked it up and it was nailing the lows gains were not ever over half way.
