Hey guys whats goin onnnnn,
I might be plannin to do a small system this weekend/next week. I have the alpine 9885 head unit. I wanna do the 12" alpine type r. Now i listen to mostly metal/hard rock, but have the rap mixed in there too. id say its split 60/40 rap to metal. I was thinkin the type r in a sealed box. Not sure what amp to use though.

Any comments, advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

P.S. i am completely a noob at systems so sorry for dumb questions/comments in advance , lol

 

I have 1 type r 10, and it is great for both, really fast response and recoil time, dont miss any beats....

i have nothing but good things to say about alpine equipment, I have had them for almost 3 years now in 2 different cars and they are still great!

alot of people are blown away when they sit in my car because they think i have at least 2 12" inch subs, but its only 1 10" in a ported box running at max power....

 

yeah i've heard nothing but amazing things about this sub like how they can blow other away that have 2 subs. What kinda amp u runnin with it?

 

I <3 my type R's

 

i mean im not trying to get loud a$$ bass that blows my ears. I just want a louder system with some kick in it. i was thinkin a 1k watt amp?

 

Im using a alpine MRP-M650 amp to power both mine and they are more than enough for me...

 

yah someone suggested the mrp m450 for my single. is 400 watts enough?

 

Well ur running 2 -12" Im running 2 -10" I think it'll do but better safe then sry and get one step above IMO

 

i only doin 1 12

 

OH then that amp should do.

 

alright thanks a lot. prolly gonna go tomorrow to get a quote

 

Yo type r's are amazing, for the price you really can't beat them. I have the alpine cda 9884 headunit, one 12" type r running about 500 rms in a sealed box and they hit nice and clean. The system is only 1.5 week long so I can't tell you how good they are in the long run but I did a lot of research before I bought them and like you said nothing but good reviews.

 

I am running 2-12" type Rs with 2-MRP 450 monos. It sounds good. but I think a to each would sound even better.
But that would be risky, so i say go with one mono 450 and you will be good.

I love having each sub with its own amp, keeps everything cool and no overheating!!

 

 

dont get it....

 

its pretty funny......


eD is having a sale on their 13ov.2's two of them for 140. pair it with a nine.1 (hit me up i have one for sale) and you can get subs / amp for less than 400

 

got a quote - 650 installed for type r 12 in, vented box, alpine m 500 amo and wiring kit. prolly gonna do it next week, i gotta sell my drum set first!!

 

WOW EXPENSIVE

 

x2 that is super expensive. what kind of box is it? i'm asuming standard bb / cc vented box. whats it tuned to? bleh what does it matter alpine doesn't like vented / ported

 

With $650 I can do a lot with that....Like heading over to Db-r and picking up a refurb SAZ1500 for $360 shipped, a single 12" FI Q with BP power for $299 shipped. Thats now $610, build a box for $20, find some amp wiring kit over at CA.com for used and pay like $50... And you will be louder than you ever want to be.
