Type R and RE *** 12"s

[VisceralSound 10+ year member]

So currently I have a DVC4ohm Alpine Type R 12" and I'm wondering in comparison of the two An RE *** 12" with say power handling, sound quality, would it work out in a 2.5cft box vs the 2.0 on their site tuned to 32hz.

Currently I'm pushing 1000watts to the type R and I'm wondering how well the Re takes power.

Type R only gets loud in TCAB boxes. Didn't you know that? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Mine gets plenty loud in my 2.5cft box, my lingo isn't to par so I don't know what TCAB is haha

@Nate, look for the prior model not the new one?

I know Iam messing around. TCAB is some guys boxes for type r. He used to make them here and ended up scamming everybody lol. But what I meant is you should aero port that type r before you buy a new sub.

Think it'd sound better?

Look for an sx

well not sure about sounding better but its louder. If you want SQ then RE it is.

Yeah I'd rather go more towards SQL rather than the sloppy grossness a friend tried showing me with his 2 12 CVR's ewww.

Don't suppose anyones in the market for a type r and a little cash added for an SX //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The RE Se/X is a cosmetic refresh of the RE SE. You can expect it to be very close to the SE in terms of SQ and SPL. The current Alpine Type-R is a deeper redesign of the old one. See here. For example, Alpine employs a shorting ring which should improve sub's inductance performance, and BL linearity is supposedly pretty good (there is a graph posted on Alpine web site). So I might be a minority here, but if I was buying a sub without hearing it first, I'd get a Type-R because it seems more hi-tech, if the price is the same or the Type-R is cheaper. However, in the end there will not be a night and day difference IMO. Of course, if you setup either one of these subs to sound like a fartbox, it will. In properly sized sealed box, either of these should have decent SQ and SPL for a sedan with little tuning.
