i took the type e.. i was impressed with my Rs, i was worried about the w0 handling 300+rms and the w0s ive heard all lack bigtime int he spl dept.

im building a box tomorrow ill let everybody knwo hwo it sounds. this is just a temporary setup since i sold everything i have when i was broke.

2.0 cubes 30 hz sound ok? im not sure cause alpine doesnt list ported specs for it

you cant hurt a w0 with that wattage. i gave my old ones 1200 lol. anyway, if they were freee, why not both? not to put together, but you know. i wouldve done the w0.

1200 watts of power would blose those things to hell and back.

agreed.

300 may have been fine.. the amp is rated at 300 @ 12v and my car does a steady 14.4 so im not sure...

i didnt take both because i got a 50 dollar gift cardfrom the shop for graduation (surprised they did that) and they had a sale and these subs were both 50 bucks, so why not? im tired of no bass.

im happy with my decision.. i took the w0 home first and it looked weak as hell and almost cheap...

could have taken the w0 and sold it then gone back to the shop and bought 2 type e's

Now that sounds like a plan. BTW Type E does sound pretty damm good.
