RE: Thinking about selling my chip.
Yeah, I might be interested in the chip, too. But I don't get paid 'til Monday and that's gotta cover my 6 month auto insurance premiums first, then an oil change, rear diff fluid change and new spark plugs...I need to get all that done before it gets real cold.

RE: Thinking about selling my chip.
chip is pending sale... if it falls through, ED has first crack at it... I am waiting for a confirmation PM from the potential buyer.
Alt, if you are looking for loud, I suggest the alpine type R's. if you are looking for clean and tight... I'd suggest the Type S...

RE: Thinking about selling my chip.
well... I owned a type X... if you want loud, dont get it. I had 2 type R 10's that hit 150 bd in a db drag. my type X only hit 139.3... And that is with the same amount of power. (type r's had 500 to each, the type X had 1200...)
the type X will accuratley reproduce almost any frequency from 4hz up to 150hz... the R's are similar but wont drop as low. they struggle under 12 hz...
I strongly suggest running alpine, JL or Zapco for your interior amp... cheap amps just cant power the R components right. (total mobile audio is a good choice if you are on a budget. they are made by JL and sound awsome. I just put 1 in my sisters caliber)

RE: Thinking about selling my chip.
Well I'm not expecting one type X to run louder than 2 R's, however I don't think I have room for more than one sub thus the X. Was also planning on picking up some PDX amps to power the whole shebang and a 9885 for the dash. Think that would work out pretty well? (right now this will all be going on my Xmas list, we'll see how much I can manage to get, lol)

RE: Thinking about selling my chip.
well, the amps are a great idea. if you are going to seal the sub enclosure go with the Type X. if you are porting it. (round or slot) go with a type R... I think the type R's are louder... My sister has 1 type R in the cali and it pounds. plus she only has 400 watts going to it. My X wasnt any louder and it had over 1000 watts...
If you want loud, I'd say go with a type R or JL 10W6... the jl being way louder than the R. (and louder than the X if both are ported.)

RE: Thinking about selling my chip.
I was planning on sealed, I want to make a custom enclosure for it that goes between the rear seats (similar to JL's stealthbox). I haven't really made a custom box before so I figured better to keep it simple. How do you think the 10W6 would perform sealed? I really want a sub that sounds clean too, had a 10" audiobahn in my last car in a sealed box that was loud as all hell but it was a little muddy.
