just blowed one of my audiobahn alums an the other 2 aint far behind,an my jbl 1200 went the same time,had it for 5 years so i cant complain,looking for a new sub any suggestion,i was looking at the kicker comp vr 12's 2 for 145 bucks or 2 12" alpine type 's for 145 to,what would you do

 

Go with Alpine type "E" or Alpine Type "R" if you have the money. The type r's will rattle your truck to peices. The Type e's sound good thats what i have, one type r hits harder then 2x type e's... put it that way. But each type r is like 225 or 250 i think. Type E's only 130-150, and you need less power to push them, the r's take 1x 600wat 500rms amp each, and 1 cap each. So you will need 2x caps, 2x amps.. cost alot but you could blow some people away i tell you that.

One of out installers has 2x type r in his S10 and you could flip cell phones on his roof it was reflaxing that much. Till he dynomated it.. now its just impossible to sit in with the windows up.. lol..

 

You can get type r's for like 125 on the net......but I think the kicker's would be your best bet as they are good priced, have good power handling, not terribly deep mounting depth and kicker usually has solid products...not that alpine doesnt....Were you wanting amp rec. also?

 

I agree. The VR's are great subs. So are the Alpine's but I think the Type R's are a little overkill, and I just don't like the E's

 

i have 2 type E alpine 12" and love it. i didn't choose kicker because i didn't want to use a super high powerd amp with my setup...
i'll be upgrading my Es to Rs soon so i can enjoy the "Overkill" lol

 

all i really want is good sounding bass,dont really cure about goin loud cause im bout deaf from all the L7s an stuff ive had an compitions,i know my 15" type r sounds really good thats why i wanted to go with the alpines,i never had owned a set of comp vr's so i dunno if they are good on sound qualty an have a good bass to them,thats what im looking for an in crutchfield they are the same price,buy one get one free,im buying 2 12's an ater after xmas i will add a rockford amp or a memphis amp to power them

 

memphis amps are SEXXXYYYYY!!!....I would get one for my new components, but they dont push enough power

 

well i just picked up 2 12" comp vrs dual 2 ohm for 149 bucks free year replacement,hope they sound good enough for me,i know kicker subs isnt for sound qualty but maybe these will,now for my amp.what wattage would you all recomend for these, i like rockford an kicker,i would go with a new jbl cause i loved the last one but they are a litle to out of my price range

 

rockford an memphis
