SPG555 or Alpine Type-R 15"

[SubmerseMusic 10+ year member]

Hello, I've had two Alpine type-E subwoofers for a long time, but one blew on me a couple days ago. So I am looking to upgrade. I am morely into sound quality than SPL. I have heard that the Alpine 15's are real sloppy by my installers, and they also said that the type-x subwoofers were garbage because they blow to easily. I also looked into the Fosgate 15" T2 but that speaker doesn't hit down to 20hz according to it's specs. I have 6.5 type-r components in the front, and 6x9 type-r speakers in the rear. I also have the CDA-117. I would be powering the speakers with a MRP-M2000. So, would you get two alpine type-r 15" subs, or two Boston Acoustic SPG555's? Thanks for any help. In a Sealed Box.

I'd get neither. Take a look at some less mainstream subs. Stuff like the following:

Image Dynamics IDMax

Fi Q

SSA Icon

Incriminator Audio Flatlyne

Arc Audio FL

Sound Splinter RL-p

All are very nice.

Between the two, I'd say go with the boston acoustics if you're dead-set on sealed. If you're taking suggestions, I'd suggest an Image Dynamics IDQ
