if you have the $ i would step it up to the alpine type r

 

As impressive as your credentials are, could you perhaps provide us with some details on why "Alpine is the better choice". Could you perhaps break down the T/S specs and give us a comparison or do you have some statistical information you could share?If you have modeled both subs in LEAP or another designing program, could you post the results?

I guess my question is; what, specifically, makes Alpine better than Pioneer both overall and in this particular application?

One thing I have found while looking around on the internet is that "trust me" is not a substitute for factual information.

 

Since you are basing your suggestions on how much power a subwoofer can handle thermally, is it safe to assume you are lookingat which sub is the loudest? If not, why would would power handling, using music which is dynamic in nature, be a consideration?

If you are basing your suggestion on which sub is the loudest, how do you feel Pioneer subs would do in the world of USACi SPL comps?

 

my friend has a pair of these!!! not sure which ones exactly. but these things HIT!!!! and best of all, they have great SQL. they hit on time too. these would be nice to get.

 

I was simply stating that number besause in his original post he listed the type s as a 900 watt sub witch it is not. And pioneer does make "loud" subs hence the world record. I have two alpine type x and two pioneer elite comp pros same box same two pdx 1.1000 perfered the type x over the pioneer, cleaner and tighter. So now my brother now has two pioneer subs. Just correcting a false number.

 

With sub performance being a combination of T/S specs, enclosure size/type/location, available power and tuning, using the same size enclosure for subs with different T/S specifications would yield completely different results.

 

They hit on time? I don't understand this statement....

Do other subs take a break between low Hz frequency cycles?? :P

 

ok lemme reword this for someone who takes things very literally... the subwoofer makes a low frequency sound at the exact moment it is supposed to. it has no delay. is that better?

 

[align=left]Why does everyone think that just because a sub goes loud and pushes out x rms that it is the best ? Subs do actually have a different sound from type to type. It all just depends what your looking for. I like my rockfords because when I listen to my main choice of music they kick me in the chest and it sounds like it's a live concert in my truck. When making your choice go wherever and have a good listen to what each sounds like to you. Just because someone says/is a member of a bunch of letters doesn't mean they'll have the same ear as you. Just my opinion.

glad i caught this. i would DEF get alpine. i had two type e's but i JUST got 2 10in type r's with 2 450 watt amps...problm is they dont fit in the box i have under my seat ha. so im gonna try and modify it this weeknd. but def go with alpine. also have the alpine ida-x001 headunit
