[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 56962, member: 541271"] Well I could careless about brand names, if it performs then that's tight. A lot of people have had good experiences with alpine and so one, so who are you to say that alpine sucks. I'm not biased to anyone brand, I'll try them all if I can, but I'm not going to go out and say that an established brand such as Alpine sucks, I even give Sony the benefit of the doubt, although they have had their fair share of problems. If your expecting the Type R to perform like a $400 sub, then your barking up the wrong tree. But for the price, you can't get much better, like I said before, I think it is in the top five for woofers under $200. I haven't heard every sub under $200, but it's surpassed most of the subs I have heard. It is my opinion. But just because a few people blow their alpine's every week or whatever doesn't mean I'm going to dislike or say they ****. I've seen it happen so many times, you try to make the sub louder than it can go, and you blow it over time. No big deal, my brother took his bazookas back 4 or 5 times over a 6 months period. I had them in my car for 3 months and never had a problem, then he gets the same subs in his truck and blows them within 2 weeks. Do I think bazooka sucks, no, they weren't that bad for the price, do I attribute the blown subs as bazookas fault? No I don't, I would guarantee that most if not all of them were blown due to him pushing them past their limits. You can be biased all you want, but many people have had nothing but good things to say about Alpine, from H/U's to amps, you name it. Your only one person. [/QUOTE]
