Which Alpine sub to go with?

The OP should get a solid 10" sub and roll with it. 600 rms to 800 rms.

Just get the Alpine Type R 10 if dead set on that enclosure and you’ll be able to throw more power at it down the road if you want.

Tried out the S series subwoofer. Though it sounded much better than the Infinity I'm going to be sending it back in turn for the R series subwoofer instead. I did upgrade my box to the SKAR Audio ported enclosure that is bed lined over being carpeted. 1.75 tuned around 35hz. That made a big difference as well over the old box.

Sounds like a best buy employee. If so, get an Alpine PDX-M12 and a Kicker L7.

Not a Kicker fan.

The R series is a great line from Alpine. Glad to hear you got a tuned enclosure in the 30s. Makes a difference in the Sub stage and getting the sub to do some work for you in that area. Type R will do nicely on a 1k all day long. Hopefully you get more justice out of the Type R rather than the S series on your 600 rms

Remember when this forum nut hugged Type Rs? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Out of curiosity my air space without a subwoofer is 1.75. How would I figure out what the r series would take up of that? Looking at the specs subs optimal air space in ported is right around 1.6.
