Polk v.s. Alpine

[PokoLoko 10+ year member]

just wondering which is a better sub ?

the alpine 12" Type-R or Polk audio MOMO MM12 12" ?

i herd the polks getting 1000w in a ported box.....and they sound insane.

but would like to know if the type R will outperform it

personally, i wouldnt get the momos. i had them and ran them at the reccomended power just as they said with no clipping, and both blew on me. it has been a re-occuring problem with those subs. head over to the polk forum for yourself if you dont believe me. but, the good thing is, polk will basically replace the woofers no matter what as long as you are under warranty and purchased from an authorized dealer.

i have heard the polk with 400 to each and r's with 400 to each.

I love my R's....underage heard mine with 400....i love em. Polks imo just dont sound as good. Distort a lot at higher power...etc. Alpine straight up

there were a ton of sponsered Polk cars at a recent show, and I have to say the MOMO's are decent subs, they were not getting gobs of power or anything, but did well IMO, but I feel the Alpine is the stronger sub here
