Should I?

[Silver 10+ year member]

Get a 12" Alpine Type R? I see them at ikesound for 105$ new. !

Or should I keep this MXS 1204?

I really want a new sub, the MTX pounds but I'm not even using full potential of the amp. As of now 300wrms. I can send the Type R 500rms.

Would it be that much of a difference? I will put it in a 2.0cuft box tuned to 38hz. Ported.

Or should I just keep for a new amp? I'm trying to decide between 2 12" Alpine Type R's with a BX1500 Hifonics. Or a 12" SS-RL-p with my bazooka amp which will send it 500wrms.

I figure I can start building my new system by buying the new alpine, then going from there, but I really don't know the best choice.

Out of those options, I like the RL-p with the Bazooka amp. At least until you can upgrade the amp.

i like the rl-p's but i would upgrade amps and that would not include hifonics.

x2 at Jack's comment. I'd get the good speaker 1st, an amp wont make nearly as much of a difference.

I may be getting a RE SE so lets throw out the type R.

Are the RL-p and the SE in the same ballfield at all?

the SE will be louder I believe and the RL- should have better SQ. So not really...

I have no experience with either though just regurgatating some shit I read on here.

Type R > SE

get the RL-P though.. sounds great and not badly priced..

Really?? Ok well ikesound has the 12"'s for 105$ Which I think is a great price.

So I dunno.

i wouldn't say the se will be louder. it's install dependant and rl-p's do get very loud. it seems like everybody just wants to say an rl-p is an sq sub, but it actually has very good spl along with the sq.

Negative. The RL-p will more than likely be louder than an SE. Install will play a factor but the RL-p has the upper hand in linear displacement...

I agree, it truly depends on the box mainly imo.
