[QUOTE="mrbadwrench, post: 8075076, member: 635562"] I just picked up an alpine 12" type x without knowing too much about them. my previous systems have includes 2x 10" r's, and a 12" type s. I am running a mrp-1000 amp, memphis 4amp wiring kit and a sound ordinance box. I know the sound ordinance box is probably holding me back, but it seems like something is wrong with the setup and I cant figure out what. Pretty much both my 12" type s and my 2x10" r's were much better than the type x in terms of quality, loudness, and overall frequencies it will hit, and those subs were also in cheap pre-fabs with much cheaper walmart wiring. So im not sure what the issue is. My amp settings I have played with quite a bit but are currently for the best settings I could find at: Gain .5v, Bass eq +12db, and lp filter at 100. Besides sounding ****** the sub and amp also just started causing a weird smell and got pretty hot. Please help me to figure out the issue before I go crazy. [/QUOTE]
