Tell Me About The New Type-X (please)

[naughty#9 10+ year member]

Every 12" Type X from the initial batch were sent with shorted voice coils //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Shitty thing is, Alpine was basically no help to the dealers that got the ones with shorted voice coils. Alpine was making the dealers pay for the freight costs to ship them back (not cheap) ..............
So I wouldn't buy any 12" Type X's off of ebay, cause you know the likelyhood that they are the damaged version...........

what is your source for that?

just out of curiousity...

ahh, an ALPINE MRD-M1001 (1000rms at 2 ohm) amp is what im looking at buying
and should i port a type-X ? or seal? and what do i tune it to??? 80hz?

if the type-X sub is anywhere near as good as the Type-X components are then im buying it tomorow

Either run it sealed, or port tuned to 25-30 Hz. 80Hz is rediculously high.
