SQ sub

[bterz 10+ year member]

Hey guys. I recently decided on an alpine type-r powered by a TXA-6004

I was wondering if the Alpine Type-R is a good SQ sub or just likes to get loud. Obviously its not going to be the greatest because of its budget price, but i'd like something that sounds good > rattle my car loose.

So anyone got any reccomendations or would this be good??

My speakers sound good not-amped so I cant wait to amp them and get a sub in.

I'll check it out.

keep in mind my amp only supports 600watts RMS

Then the R isn't for you! lol..

It is NOT SQ oriented in the least bit, and you def. want to give it 1000w.

600 works too though.............................

x2. 600w would do well w/ an IDmax

type-r's are not known for their SQ.

Sound a hell of a lot better than Rockford P2's LOl, but still thats nothing to compare to, haha.

Im actually completely new to car audio but my friend had a RF P2 and I liked how it sounded in his ranger lol...

I need to find someone locally with an Alpine Type-R.

I think im just gonna roll with it hahah

You said Cadence TXA-6004, no?

4 Ohm RMS Power: 4 x 150 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

2 Ohm RMS Power: 4 x 300 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

4 Ohm Bridged RMS Power: 2 x 600 Watts

That would give a D4 IDMAX 1200 watts, unless we're not talking about the same amp...

thats correct, 600x2 but i plan on powering my front speakers as well.

Also, I searched an IDMAX and I cant afford 400$.

I can only spend about 130+/- on a sub. Do you suggest used?

Oh, I was unaware that you were powering everything on the one amp. But if it does 150x4 @ 4ohms, unless you're buying 2ohm separates that would only give you 300w for the sub.

$130 is your max? I might also recommend the new IDQ's.. they can be had for ~$250 shipped. Maybe even an ID12V3 if you really can't go over $150.

If SQ is genuinely what you're looking for, that is. Type R's are okay, but like was said, not known for their SQ.

you can get a Dayton HO for that budget. great sq and get loud ported when ported the right way.

Actually you will be fine with a type R. Great bang for the buck. I had my type R tuned nice and it sounded good! I agree, it is not known as a sq sub, but you can get them to sound good and they get loud!

They are ok, the new IDQ puts them to shame SQ wise.
