Is This Sub A Rip?

OK. I've heard this sub in person. I think its great and I want to buy it... but everybody I talk to says it's rip.

What do you guys think?

i have a pair of 12 inch type rs in my car with 2 alpine mrd500 amps, 500 rms each, and i love them!! ive had them over a year and i couldnt be happier, it produces very clear and yet loud bass over all ranges but circuit city prices them high12" type r 2 ohm for 145 I ordered from this site and they were very good to deal with, shipping took 1-2 weeks but with the kind of money saved it was worth it, type r subs were 250 when i got mine but this site still charged 145. S&H might even it out but check it out. Good choice, alpine is a quality brand and ive never had a problem with them!!

Alpine R's? The only time I ever heard them was a pair of 12's in a ported box with 250 watts rms to each and it SLAMMED. If I had the cash, i'd buy'm.

i just noticed that there is free shipping, good deal for u!! and make sure u dont under power them, they can handle more than the 100-300 rms range, ive been pushing 500 rms to each of mine for over a year and no issues have come up!! if ur gonna buy 2 spend a little extra and buy the type x, one 12 x would demolish 2 12 type r's but they are both great subs, enjoy em i still do!!!

Awesome. Thanks for the replies.

I'll see how much the type X's are... I usually don't spend alot. But I want something nice.

the type x's are super spendy but ive heard they are incredible!! either way you cant lose with the type r's they are good subs!!

Dont buy anything from Jerk-it-Silly...I mean Circuit City...go to Best Buy and get the Fosgate Punch P3's. Nah, j/p..I work at best buy thas y I said that but if you like them, then get them! who the hell cares what other people think!

hell yeah!! i agree with iwhiteosv, go with what u want not what other people say you should like, just dont buy rockford!!, im just playin buy what sounds good to you not what others say you should or should not like, I.E. myself. so just ignore me!!!

i see you said don't buy rockford are they a bad sub or are you "just playiny" when you said that as well?

Rockford amps are real nice, the new line of amps anyway. I dont know much about their subs, although for the prices they better be good. Only thing u can really go wrong with are a couple of those real cheap brands offered at Best Buy and Circuit City, i forget what there called.

[alerored04]

i really dont like rockford subs, i am a SQ type of listener, i have every kind of music so i like a sub that can reproduce all of those sounds, hence the Type R,s i dont know much about the amps from what i have heard they are not bad but in my opinion the subs have a "dirty" sound to them and seem to blend most notes together, but maybe that is just the cheaper versions, like i said make ur own decision u'll be much happier.

I loved my Type-R's.. they freakin' rocked. I totally recommend them. I want X's eventually.. but ~450/sub is just a little out of my price range atm.

[alerored04]

same deal here man, those would be sooo sweet, even one of em.

get one of thesehttp://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofer_drivers/blueprint/

anything bigger than the 10 will blow anything alpine has away

I just recently got a rockford fosgate P3 12' dual 4 ohm sub, and i must say, i am rather impressed by the sound quality. The best word to describe this sub is dynamic. I listen to all sorts of different music, and this sub performs admirably for any occasion. It hits hard, but only when its supposed to hit hard. I have my crossover set at 80hz, and i cant tell when my regular speakers stop and the sub starts, so to speak. Of course, i can turn this thing up, which in turn causes my vision to blur....and thats in the front seat!
