The Official Type R Thread

just sorta whipped that up. If I went with 15's I'd have to do something like that....

^^^^I don't dought ya. Those 9500's are extremley powerful subs. Why don't you just buy another one then!? I'm sure that would be comparable to the 4 l7's or 4 r's!? But on the L7's mine are in tune with every single beat. It all depends on the box build and the Freq you set it to on your amp as well. But those L7's I think would be louder.

Another 9500 in a snailshell is 800 bucks plus 400 for another 1501d, then I'd have to do some serious electrical upgrades, those suckers draw sooo much current. If I sell my system for 1000.00, I'll have enough to buy my 2500D (getting it for 550.00), and then when I sell this extra computer for 500, i'll have enough to get 4 L7s, 4 R's, whatever and then some. By that I mean dynamat, another optima yellow top, etc.

4 12 L7s would be insane!!!!I have one right now in a 4+cube box with about 175 watts going to it and that is nuts lol.....I am waiting for my other L7 and my PA a3000db to wire them up!!!

Not tryin to be a thread buster, but what is it about the type R's by alpine??? I thought they were low level subs (till I did a search on them here)... There rms is pretty low (for the 12 it's 500 rms) so what makes these subs better/louder than the L7 ??/

So is the general concenses that the type R is not as loud but sounds better or is it they ARE louder AND sound better...?????

I would have suggested 4 15"s L7's but now I'm curious

 

[xpl0it 10+ year member]

please, about the box! would this design work!?

 

[singlesubsetup 10+ year member]

Well I would say YES YES YES.... if they can do it with all these subs I dont see why you cant do it with 4...

NOW what's the big deal on the type r's?

 

[Phelptwan 10+ year member]

I dunno about the box design...The type R's are pretty long, maybe if you made a wide angle to fit them in so they don't collide. But yes...the type R's kick ***...much ***.

 

[singlesubsetup 10+ year member]

so the type R's are LOUDER than the L7's? yes/no????

 

[THUNDERBIRD 10+ year member]

what do u guys think i should go with. a singel 10 or a 12" type r. it is going to go in a sealed box, most likely fiberglassed. i want sound quality and i want to be able to get lound when i want to. i know i am going with a dual 2 ohm so i can run it at 1 ohm with 600rms. let me know guys.

 

[Mr. Opportunist 10+ year member]

if you want it to get loud you have to go ported...

 

[vladd 10+ year member]

go with two 1200ds instead, you'll get a little more wattage and they are stackable or whatever the term is ~2500W @ohm IIRC buzz is wearing off, strappable

 

[THUNDERBIRD 10+ year member]

yeah i know but i dont want to go ported. i want to have room in my trunk

 

[xpl0it 10+ year member]

I really dont' need more wattage, with the box I'm building, the subs will be going as much as they need to. The 2500d is rated at 13.8v i think!? So with a nice iraggi alt, i'll easily quench their need for power. So like 550-650 watts per sub on avg. I've decided to go with the L7s in a 12-14 cubic box tuned to 40hz.

the 12" will be superior to the 10" in pretty much every way if you dont mind the slightly larger space it will take up.

GJ on the L7 decision! type rs are good but a L7 is still a L7 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
