both lines are type R's just in different boxespeople telling me its impossible for a type R to sound good in a 3.5 cuft box is like coming up to me and tellin me you cant put 20's on a grand am.

when at the shop today picking up that X i mentioned how some of you guys are telling me that the type R wont be loud and will sound terrible in a 3.5 cubic foot box, and i had to change the subject to get them to stop laughing, cause every time we ride up there in his car, it turns into a demo vehicle cause they want to show people what that little 150 sub can do at insane SQL levels

but back to the type x, i'd say its about 10 steps up from the type r, wow, i cant believe the doors on his car are staying closed, they litterally flap, havn't seen anyones shit do that ,

at that the X is so hot, you people should check them out if you havn't, its got a re-enforced cone, pretty cool, lookes like the sub is made to disapate heat better then the R,

the box we have it in i made for the type X, even though he had a type R, cause i knew after he heard the type R in that box he would not be able to resist an upgrade to the x, which it took about a month but dayum, anyone of you guys running these?

i will do a full review on the x in a couple days

ive tested the X... its just way way too ineffeciant.

and... 3.5 cubes is too big, i've tested the R's in alot of boxes, and they didn't do 3.5 very well. Perhaps you need to try a smaller box before you say 3.5 is the best?

i find it really funny how when this board starts taking a liking to a new sub they seem to encougage over powering it by like 50%.

 

[Mr. Opportunist 10+ year member]

I Will pay you money to see that sub recieve a 1000 watt tone "all day. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif " Don't expect it to last long. Sure, you can run it daily with an amp that powerful, but I doubt your sending the sub more than a few hundred watts at even high listening volumes. I guess I can say im sending my RE comps 300 watts "all day" but I know they'll be toast long before I can actually send them that much power.

1000 watt burp? sure, I'll believe that. But noone can run that sub at 1000 watts "all day"

how do the type r's compare to the 2000spl's spl wise?(that sounds like a stupid question, but i was just interested to see if anyone knew?)

i've tested type R's in alot of boxes too,

and they were successful, sorry to hear yours weren't

im sure that the boxes were completely different sizes with different tunings, if you took your box, then listend to your R and took it out and put in an X, you wouldn't be saying your R is louder

Alpine would not produce a subwoofer that is 3 times the price of the type R and it not be better....

it just wouldn't make sense
