so share the secret....whats the ideal box for 2 12" type r's(new ones) with 1000 watts?

as with any speaker its vehicle dependant.

ok well tried to make a different thread and mods deleted it. i really hate having everything in one thread..

anyways,

i ordered 2 12" Rs and was wonderign what box you guys have had experience with that sounded the best for you. im looking for a good SQL mix. drew up plans for 4.5 net ported @ 33 hz.. is th box too big? is the tuning too high? just let me know what you think cause i tried searching the thread and it sucks cause every 15 posts contain the words ported box and tuning

you should make a box out of wood. The big square kind.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

no clue how you smoked it... must have been sending it dam near a square wave.

yeah thats weird mine didnt pop mine just smoked, did yours pop? my signal was probably clipped b/c i can run viper gain at 50% h/u sub set to -15 and beat on it all day but w/gain at 1/3 and vol at 0 it smoked...

i bought an alpine mrd-605 mono amp, with a 1022d type r amp. 2+2 ohm, and a ***** am stealth enclosure. do you think it will sound good?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

and spr0ket you'll use fosgate but not alpine? that makes sense

Can't beat a used sub for $75 with those specs. Besides, once I get my new subs, the RF is in the trash. Sense doth now make. Still won't buy anything Alpine. Period.

Ok maybe im a little lost lol but why does it seem everywhere i look that the 15" type r's are so much more than the 12's ??????

 

[Spkrman]

its somewhere in this thread... useless thread that it is.

the 15's are done like they are supposed to be. Its not the same coil/magnet as the 12... the coil and magnet are both bigger... its designed as if the 15 is a completely different woofer - performance is DEFINITELY there too... the 15's are some of the meanest low note subs PERIOD.

definitely worth the extra $.

I think it'll be install dependent...

But should sound good.

Anyone seen the new "get hamr'd" alpine sub + amp packages? they look pretty sweet for anyone who wants a simple set up.

how much difference in SQ is there between the 10W6v2 and the SWR-1042D?

and also which one has a better freq response?

 

[JimJ 5,000+ posts]

I preferred the W6v2...

Frequency response is going to be by far more box dependent than the driver...
