re SE vs. type r

[maldecido33 10+ year member]

Which would be a better SQL application:

One 10" RE SE in a 1.5 cu ft box tuned at ~29.5 Hz w/ about 650 watts (actual output of amp) going to it at 2 ohms. (Sub is 600w RMS)

One 10" 2005 Type R in a 1.5 cu ft box tuned at ~29.5 Hz w/ about 650 watts going to it. (Sub is 500w RMS)

Two 10" 2004 Type R's each in a .7 cu ft sealed box w/ about 325 watts going to each sub. (Subs are 300w RMS)

I've got the two 10" 04' Type R's right now. There behind the seats of a single cab truck. They get surprising loud for being in a sealed box w/ only 650 watts going to them. But I, just like everyone here, want to experiment.

Which, overall, would produce the best SQL results. Get plenty loud while retaining SQ.

everyone will say the R, but I loved my SE's

if u are goin ported, the R would be the better choice. if u are goin sealed the SE would be it. SE really shine in sealed applications. ported is the way 2 go. i would try the single 10R ported and get an dual 2 and run the 1200d@1ohm on it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

said it perfect

wtf? you really think a 500w RMS sub could take 1200w RMS?

i'd feel like i was wasting money when they smoke started seeping out of the port :-/

box and install dependent.....

they will take it, no prob. u would be suprise how much power alpine sub can take. my TYPE E takes my 2500d daily, wit out an sweat. so be smart and u will be fine.

Most important would probably be gain setting from what I've read, and then you won't broil your subwoofer.

se is one hell of a sub though

 

[PowerNaudio 10+ year member]

here is what i came up with. this is just an estimate and not compleatly true.

 

[zsondy1 10+ year member]

type r for sure

 

[PowerNaudio 10+ year member]

the SE gives more of a flatter freq response more control over music.

the type r peaks at two different spots so eq to correct it.

i would not do 2 type r in a sealed that small. no low end response.

I would go for the SE for SQl. Much flatter response //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Also, everyone and their mother's uncle's son's daughter has a type R. Be different //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My Premier PRS woofers are rated to handle 300 watts RMS and I'm feeding them 600 RMS on a daily basis with NO problems.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
