Which is a better setup for SPL?

Yeah im still learning about the wiring it down to 1 ohm thing..not quite sure how to do that yet..and im learning how do to the big 3...do I really need that for my kind of setup?(2 Type R 12s, AQ1200D)?

IMO, I think everyone should do it.

All I had with my P3s and amp was just a regular setup...nothing special done just wired the amp up and speakers and ran through battery cable or whatever and did the ground wire..just a standard setup.

so still go with the big 3?

If you actually have the room to do two 15" sdc's, for sure go that route. However, I highly doubt you have that kind of space (they'd need around 8cubes/net.)

And yes, do the big 3. It's so easy and cheap for the benefits you get from it...

Type R's sound decent in the right enclosure. The 33 to 34hz range is a good range for Type R's, lower frequency would smooth the peak out of the response.

and that means?

It means build your own enclosure rather the buy prefab garbage that is out there. Type R's produce decent sound in a ported enclosure built to spec (info is on Alpine's website).

i disagree. IMO alpines specs are to small(1.75 per sub). my buddy has his 2 12's in a 5 cuft box tuned to 32 it sounds good an gets loud. even my 4 cuft box gets em loud an soundin pretty good. an i've seen em in 1.75 i dont think they perform near there potential.

the aq still sound better , i had both for few months.

8ft/cu in a trunk is almost impossible. + you need clearance for the port area... it need space to breath

Get the SDC 12s. Both are nice subs, but obviously 15s are louder. If you have to get 12s though... SDC.

yeah only problem is i dont have the kind of money for 2 HDCs or even one really..I want two 12s so..I just want something louder than what I used to have which was 2 12" p3s and 3500w boss audio amp.

where do you plan on buying these from?
