OK, thats the better section. So i'm guessing your going for sound quality because you only have one 10? I'd go with the type-r for the higher power handling and they have the ability to get slightly louder. What kind of amp do you have/going to have?

no idea, but something not tooooo expensive....

thinking of a mono or a 2-ch alpine... something in the range of $300 canadian. any ideas?

thanks

Well, I don't know the US/Canadian conversion rates, but a JBL 300.1 would do fine on a type-r.

strap the new kenwood 800 on there, 465w rms at 4 ohms mono. 300 bucks futureshop

Im running a type s 10" on a 2ch alpine amp... sounds good.

But choose your amp first and then decide if you've got the power to feed the 300 watt rms the type r is thirsting for.

If you cant get up to that then take the type-s. Either way youll be happy with what you get.

note: both subs will take about 3-4 days of playing at medium volume to start wearing in and sounding how theyre going to sound for a long time.

Between 250-300 watts rms thru your amp go for the type r

any less, the type-s will do the job for you.

hey guys...

thank you all for all your advice and your pointers.

I just came back from the store, and I did it. I bought the 10inch type-r (4 ohm + 4 ohm) and the alpine MRPM350 mono v-power amp (350 rms at 2ohm or 200 rms at 4ohm).

Will that amp be enough for this sub(by enough I mean pretty **** fu***** good)? (sorry too excited).

and is there any problem running the sub at 2ohm? coz I know there is the other type-r that is specifically a 2ohm + 2ohm.

talk to me guys.

oh I forgot to tell you that I paid $650 canadian including tax for those and a "rox-box" pre-fab box. what do you think? good deal?

thank you all

I couldn't even find it in the alpine site. Anybody know?

thanks

hey guys, talk to me if the amp is good enough?

and what is the diff between SWR1040D and the SWR1041D?

and can the amp and sub handle a 2ohm setup?

thank you all

Yes that amp is good enough. Couldn't tell ya the difference, and the amp can handle the 2 ohm load seeing as it has specs @ 2ohms. The sub doesn't matter, it's the amp that has to handle the ohm-load.
