Need help choosing between the alpine type r 12 or 15

[That_whiteboy]

Someone please help I’m running a kicker zx 1000.1 mono block amp and i want to get a new sub i was looking at the Alpine type r 12 and 15 i just want to run one of them because i have limited space in the back seat of my truck. But from what i can see with the rms power and everything else both the 12 and the 15 seem like they are the same for the most part beside size i obviously want the better harder hitting and better sq if some one can please help me out also some input on boxes would be great too thanks !!! Other ideas for speakers would be appreciated too nothing to crazy in price and good quality

What’s your max space, goals, and budget? For the cost of a new type r I’d go with a sundown sa 12 or 15. If you have the space the 15 will be louder due to cone area. Also the myth a 12 hits harder and a 15 plays lower is a garbage concept. A 12 and 15 can sound identical. All in the box.

Need more info....if your limited on space, doubt a 12 or 15 will work behind the back seat...or even other.

The sundowns will outperform that Alpine..

What are you trying to accomplish. Loud? Sq? Crush lows? What do you listen to? On that power 4.5 cubes or so tuned to 29-32 should pound on that power. I’d do two e 15s on that power personally.

Cuz I’m a sundown nuthuggin fan boy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but for real. The sa series has be proven to be a great sub. Alpine,kicker or any Best Buy brand throw those out the window. We will help you for sure.

I just want it to sound beast with good sq and to thump the block when i drive by and still hear good vocals i was going to run all type r door speakers off a kicker zx350.4 amp also listen to a lot of rap also how do i tune

If you haven’t bought them there’s much better options than alpine. 15 years ago Aline was great. Now there’s so many better options.

Two e 15s would get loud in the right box on your power

You tune by length of port...so the longer the port, it'll tune lower. Shorter the port length, it tunes higher. Computer programs for enclosure building will yield the info needed. Shredder2 can prob help you with a design once you figure out which Sundown subs you pick.
