Sundown vs Type-R help chew chew chewsing

[NewToTheGrounds 10+ year member]

Helloooooo....I am currently looking at getting 2 x 12" subs

2 x SUNDOWN AUDIO SA-12 SERIES D2 12" SUBWOOFER DVC 2 OHM

or

2 x 12" Alpine Type-R

My amp is a Hifonics Brutus 1606D, and my current box is a 5 footer at 32hz. (I can easily make a new one if needed)

Can anyone tell me which would be the better of the 2 for spl and my amp, and is there any better subs at this price point? or just pick one of these and be happy with life.

thanks

Type-r is by no means a bad sub, but when being compared to sundown, it's a whole different league.

output=sundown

sq=alpine

the type r has a flat bl curve for reduced distortion

Don't get either unless you want to become a nut hugger douchebag like everyone else. Stand out and be different, even if it costs you a DB or two.

wouldint 5feet b a tad to big for the sundowns?even though u did say u would make a new one.

Thanks for the help guys.

What would be an optimal size box for 2 sundowns and where do they like to sit for tuning on a vented box.

Well they want 1.75 ft^3 ported for each sub so do the math on that one. And they suggest it tuned at 30 hz

jacob says a sub with a flat bl curve will have lower distortion and be more true to the music over an overhung motor like sundowns.

thats not proving the alpine type r will be better, but generally with the designs the subs use, the alpine should have less distortion, and be the more accurate driver.
