W7 or Alpine Type X

[skameron831 10+ year member]

hey whats up people, this is my first post.

Im sure alot of you know quite a bit about subs and what not so i was wondering if you could help me choose a good sub.

I have a tahoe so space isnt really a problem..

But i was wondering if i should go with 2 12" Alpine Type X or a 12" W7.

Ive heard really good reviews about both and then again some not-so-good reviews on both.

Ive heard that the Alpines sound awesome but dont have much punch and then the W7 is the opposite.

I would like to stick between these two companys atleast because the dealer i know is a JL/ALPINE/KENWOOD dealer and they give me good deals.

Thank you.

You CANNOT go worng with either one. but I think the JL gets louder than the type x

hm...well if you are going with TWO type x's as opposed to ONE w7...i would go with the type x's...because they can get loud...just there made made to...get what im saying?

Type-x's sound great, but they're real power hungry.

What's your budget range?

I got my 2 12" x's and a hifonics bxi2006d for about $900, plus another $150-$200 for a huge AZZ box req'd for dual x's, and honestly, they want more power. They told me.

I had a pair of Type X's in a ported enclosure built to specs. They sounded amazing in the SQ department. I give them a 9.5/10 on SQ. On the SPL side I rate them as 7/10. I can't tell you too much about the W7, except for stuff you may already know. Good luck with your choice. Either way you should be fine.

Im looking to spend about $1300-1500 max. Might sound like alot but, im non-stop listening to music. And if i want my music to be loud, and hit me in the chest... but sound good at the same time.

But if im gonna go with the W7, i would probably get the W7 with the H.O. Wedge box.. I hear thoes boxes are pretty sweet.

Anyways, any suggestions with that kind of money to spend.... not waste.

good for you??

Anyway, if you want it to be straight loud get 2 15" L7's

but if you want loud and sound quality

go with a 13W7 in a High Output box or just a big ported box

2 12" type x's or 1 12" w7. if you 2000rms on tap its no contest. If not w7, also if you wanted to save some money buy a 15" mag put 1000+ on it and it will shit on a w7
