i dont really care about SQ anymore i just want it to be as loud as possible. so my question is if im going for spl would i be better with the 12' alpine (1000 rms) or 2 10' G5's (900 rms total)

any help appericated

 

Hey man, what kind of amp are you thinking of running?

 

i already have a rockford t10001bd, the specs say it will do 1000rms but everyone and there mom says they do 1500

 

One type -r will do it. I might be selling mine if you think about it

 

ONE type R?

my g5's would blow out one type R any day

 

I got two 12" type R's with a 1000watt amp and they sure pound!!!

 

IDK how loud you want it, 1 Type-R is plenty loud made my damn interior vibe apart

 

JL ftw!!!
but in your case deff the boston's

 

2 10s on the same power will always be louder then a single 12 with similar boxes (meaning both prefab sealed, both prefab ported, or both custom ported) and a T10001bd will probably do 1500w or so. im pretty sure i can get the number urs makes if u really want

 

yea if you can thatd be great, im thinking about just buying 2 more g5's then getting a custom reverse sealed box, but id be underpowering each sub by like 75 wt. (if it does 1500 exact)

 

reverse sealed?

 

i probably worded it wrong though

 

a single speaker mounted like that is inverted. but the pic is labeled as isobaric which is this

holy f#%@ $h!^, i wonder how that would sound, would it even be worth doing.

 

no..

 

type xs sound really good.. i had 1 10" and the sound quality was amazing in a sealed box.. perhaps the best i have heard. i would suggest 2 type xs over the bostons.. havent heard the bostons but can vouch for the type xs if you like sq.. wont win any spl contests.. i have heard they get loud in a vented enclosure and sound good doing it.. when i say loud i still wouldnt consider them sql subs.. perhaps 2 jl 12w6v2s would be the best of both worlds..

 

JL is more SQ than SPL and WAY WAY WAY overpriced and overrated

but yeh wuts ur budget how much are u willing 2 spend

and the Type X is more SQ than SPL also

G5's...i donno much about them so im not gonna say anything about them

but the G5's would def. get louder than 1 12 in the right enclosure cuz u have more cone area

id go with DD, DC, AA, or Fi subs if u want something LOUD (140-150db range) and have them sound good doing it

 

i would say they type x is more spl then SQ. not sure when it started sounding good...

mind you the G5 is a pretty loud good sounding sub. just expensive. its the JL with class (lol jk)

 

huh i thought it was more SQ or maybe its alpines version of the W7

 

nah its more like the fosgate T2 equivilant. Neither of which sound "bad" but they arent made to sound good like the w7,w6, g5, XXX ect

 

Tisk Tisk...No your not

 

hell ya i opened that can right up

 

anyone ever mess with the new square mtx subs...the ones that take 750rms?

 

oh sorta like the one we have in the shop?
