my box is 1.50 cuft each and stuffed with 1pound of poly something??

well I was doing some reading on the fosgate forums for you, and the T1's will be louder with the power you are working with,

 

so the jump in power might not be that much of a difference,

 

but I did find this:

so maybe if you want to build to those specs and see what happens,

So I would Like some feedback and Opinions on these Subwwofers, I have 2 L7's but havnt installed them And im thinking of returning them and getting 2 Alpine Type-R 15's. I have a Hifonics Brutus BX1800. its 1200Wrms wired at 2 ohms. Also can the Type-R's be wired to 2 ohms? Thanks

thank you.

but there are some products that havent been posted as much about on this thread.

i mean the type R has been discussed numerous times.

If you are looking for opinions i say go for the L7 i know for a fact that they wang hard but i dont think the type r is even in the same class its overrated to me. The only alpine products i buy are the head units.

the type R's gets loud...but i dont think it gets louder than the L7's...but thats my opinion...from where i heard them both they were both ported...but the L7's in a bit bigger box...but they were both loud

Half of you used to ********** to their website and now I'm not seeing anything about them. Do they still make a decent speaker? Or am I better off with an Infinity perfect.

yeah you would know....

4 type R's > 2 L7's

 

[dustinr 10+ year member]

would be pretty close.. but I'd prob say the Type R b/c they have great SQ too and they don't cost shit.
