alpine is a great sub - there is only problem, it likes power - lots of it - to get the most of the driver be sure to put alot of power to it - then it really rocks-

 

^^ Agreed ^^ Give an alpine type r sub 300+ watts, and it'll get the job done.

 

yeah i think ill go with the type r but still look into the kicker cvr . any amp recommendations?

 

I Would Use The Alpine Digital Mono Amp

 

^^ Yep, I'd go with the 1000 Watter. About $350ish new, 2 Ohms runs @ 1000 watts. (hint hint, you can always turn the gain down if needed)

 

ok thanks guys that helped me out a lot.

 

I'm not a big Kicker fan. They're sloopy, and a bit unreliable.


If you're going with a Alpine sub, might as well go with an Alpine amp...any mono class putting out 250-500w rms should work well.

 

that amps s/n ratio is teh suxx0r

 

I didnt mean that kicker or mtx was the best.. I was just really unsatisfied with my 3 type R 10's i used to have... there amps, head units, tv's ect are fucking awesome though..

 

ever since alpine added the multi-roll surround to the type r i've liked it.

also i've taken more accurate and faster responding shits than most subs kicker has released. of course i never listen to any booming bass tracks, i'm a double bass man, so quick response/accuracy > spl.

and don't bother with alpine's amps. they may be the best you'll find at best buy or circuit city, but there's much better out there. their s/n ratio is borderline shitty. i assume that's a byproduct of trying to pack too much power into such small packages.
