alrite guys i had a 12 inch w6 v2 andd 500-1 and the alt could not take it so i needlesss to say sold it for 600 to a friend got a 12 inch w3 and it takes up to much room so now i have a dilemma i want a small compact system thats gonna sound great and i will still be able to use one back seat comfortably and recline the seats all the way so i think a 10 is what i need ...any ideas pics with a 12 or 10 that fits my needs or anything thanks in advance!!!

 

TC sounds for SQ, alpine type-r SPL, to be continued...

 

honestly with the type r, dont get the 10.. get the 12..

and if you get the 12 inch type r, then make a custom ported box.. tuned to 32 hz. But then again, that will be a big box. (but if you run a good 500 watts rms to it, it will hit 130s easy)

 

yea i want the smallest box but with the best sound clean mainly
not really into the loudness spl... i hear that kicker l5s and l 7s can go in a really small box if they are 10s i want a sealed box for clearity ported does sound nice tho!

 

thats odd that you alternator couldnt handle that because im running a w6 with the amp and my system slams with no problems. now i just have to get another w6

 

8" w7? ported box? that could work for ya.
or 2 8s... im gonna go the route of 2 or 4 8s in my truck

 

single ported 10" type r on a 1kw amp...nuff said.

1.5 cubes tuned to 34...sound good and hit decent...you'll get up into the 30's-32's with that EASY.

I was up to 138 with a single 10.

 

really?

I had a 10 inch r and i hated it

 

I loved mine, so much that I may even get another 10" r...still undecided.

I dunno, I used to make those things **** hard for what they are. 80 dollar subs hitting close to a 50 (my tcab box), and a single 10 ported was 138...double the rated RMS also...never blew it.

 

ya i know.. i still have it.


Didnt you have them setup to run 1600watts rms on that amp? If thats so, 800 a piece.

 

Yes, but I was running 1200 (actual watts) at 1 ohm, which is 600 a piece, they are rated for 500rms at 2 ohms...IIRC that is WAY too much power for them.

They barely move...and I still got em close to a 50...crazy stuff right there.




I used the same exact amp for the 10, @1 ohm. So I was powering 1200 at 1 ohm (just for burps). All the other times that amp was turned way down...and it was still a loud setup for what it is.

 

Im going to replace them and after break in, im going to get a DB test done
