Looking to put subs in my 06 Cobalt SS S/C, I want to stick with all Alpine gear, more then likely Type R Subs, but im lookin to save as much trunk space as possible. Is there much of a difference between 10" and 12" Type R's? They handle the same power but the 12"s take up basically all of the trunk and the 10's won't. Also will need a Amp, thinking the MRX-M100 1000watt. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

 

I got two 12" type r in my balt with the 1000watt alpine amp. Ya they take up most of the trunk, put they pound good if you want them too.

 

if you do it right, you should only need one sub.

 

Yeah, i have two 12s that i just put in my trunk this past weekend.. thinking about taking one out. They pound ridiculously hard for that little car.

 

i have one 10 l7, but its in a huge box. i had the factory box, but it was tuned way too high.

p.s. im in mount pleasant

 

that amp will destroy a type 4 on full power

 

just do the DIY for the stock box and replace the stocker if you want to conserve trunk space. or get a bazooka tuuuube

 

Where at in Mt.Pleasant you live?? Ive been lookin around for you here in your car.

 

jamestown. how about you?

 

But it seems like two 10's would be fine if you guys are saying 12's hit insanely hard for our little cars. I'll try and post pictures with what I decide to do, new to the site but i'll try and figure out how to do this. Also anyone been to ZZP and had work done? Been lookin at getttin that Stage 3 upgrade kit. Anyone have any advice to gain some speed on about a $1000 budget?

 

i have 1 10 and it bangs. ive been to zzp. great guys/service.

we have small meets on tuesdays at 7pm at the abc warehouse parking lot. you should swing by. we usually end up at bdubs for dinner

 

I live really close to you, I live in a Condo with my Girl. If you take isabella north across that first light right there, turn left at trenton road right before chase run apartments I live back in there.

Ported or Sealed box for them subs??

 

No ****? I've seen cars meet there before but I didn't have any idea what was going on, What's your name? I'll facebook you and we can chat on there

this thread makes my head hurt

 

herp derp

 

I've got 1 JBL 12" in my car with a box built to spec and tuned at like 30hz (if i remember correctly) and it pounds harder than most 2 12" set ups I hear. 2 10's would be fine too but if you do it right, one only need one good 12" sub... in a cobalt anyway. Unless you're the type (like me) that likes EXCESSIVE amounts of bass. That's why I am upgrading my system right now and I'm still only going one sub at the moment, just going with a bigger badder sub. But yes, to get a good amount of bass, you're gonna take up most of the cobalt trunk.

 

cone size in most cases is irrelevant when comparing the db spl of bass

 

Larger diameter speakers create larger sound waves.

 

i hope ur kidding

 

i have a w3 8inch sub and it is much louder then my type r12.

 

lololololol

my roommate had an 8w7 in a spec box at 500 watts and it banged
