hey guys, i'm curous who uses alpine speakers, specifically the type-r series.. ? If so, whattya think?

 

They're decent speakers its all about how you install them though; if you do a good install you will have good sound plain and simple.

 

What kind of type r speakers

 

when i was purchasing subs i compared them in the same room with JL w7,and 2 Solar Barics L7s. Both the W7 and L7s blew them away. They were hooked up t the same amp. in the same room.

 

just remember, alpine's type r and jl w7s are totally different classes.

I had two alpine type r and I loved them then i got the jl w7 it has good smooth bass but i regret getting rid of the alpines.

 

I've a set of 10" in an Enclosed box and they sounded good with only a 300w amp .. I ust got a 1200 so I'm hoping that will make it a firmer bump ..

I am also looking at the 6 1/2 type-r component systems ... Just not sure if they will fit in my doors :P

 

Be careful you're pushing their thermal power handling there you might melt the Voice Coils on the subs with that much energy.

 

I have 2 12"Stype and they sound good, but I just want clarity just as much as Bass, but if you want something to hit hard I would go with the JL or SoloBarics IMO. But what ever sounds good to you is what you should get!

 

why did you compare the type R with the W7?! they aren't even in the same general price leage...

 

Type-R all the way around is the way to go.
6.5 separates in front, 6.5 2 way in rear with a 10' sealed box sub.

I just got it installed last week and am still tweaking my 5 channel Alpine amp but the sound is great. Nice and clear.

Type-R 10' subs are rated at 1000 watts

 

just go with some jl's and stop wasting money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

JL W3V2D2 Sound a little smoother than the alpines but they are pretty close..

 

Price for Type-R are not all that bad.

Go to http:\\www.ikesound.com

6.5 2 way $109
6.5 separates $145
10' sub $105

 

type r subs are rated at 100-300 watts for 10". this is RMS value which is the only value you should consider. looking at peak value is worthless.

type r speakers are eh. they are not very efficient. i'd go with infinity if that's your price range. jbls are pretty good too and kinda cheap.
