May I recomend a nice JL W3. Well tried and tested, loverly subs however you may just want to click the gain down a touch. Im running two 12" typeR's with two M500's (one hooked to each). When I just run one it sounds loverly, very SQ and just the right level of bass. May I also recomend that if you do choose type R you want a 0.9-1.0 CuFt sealed box, mine are in 0.75's and they are a tad too small and peaky, tried them in many boxes and 1.0 CuFt sounds sweet, just struggle to fit them in my boot with such large boxes....:thumbs:

inc box?

no, the 12 is £99, either of the dual voice coil ones are.... have a look

yes but im opting for 12" version

you are get the alpine for 99 now, look for alpha car audio in the back of the mags

the Jl sub is £190 and the alpine is about £120, is there really a diff? im thinking of gettting a package of MRDM300 and alpine type R sub

ok, cheers.

i am only going to be running one sub for sure, its not about volume for me, i`m a SQ nutter.....lol

i will be running the single with the big power behind it so that nothing will be lacking power at all.

just remeber if u get 1 dual voice coil sub and ya thinkin of adding another 1 at a later date your better with dual 2 ohm voice coils. We had this discussion bout mine i think,lol.
1 dual 4 ohm sub= 2 or 8 ohms
1 dual 2 ohm sub= 1 or 4 ohms
2 dual 4 ohm subs= 1 or 4 ohms
2 dual 2 ohm subs = 0.5 or 2 ohms

I know you probably knew that but just didnt want u 2 do what ive done n get forced into runnin at 1 ohm, lol.

PS. Nothing against Alpine but i got rid of a Type R for JL W3 and there is no comparison. JL is about £40 more but it shows

hmm, u should ask to listen to the fussion subs see what u think. All down to personal preferance imo ;)

anyone?

hey

i am looking to buy a new 12" sub, or two, soon. i aint rich by any means and have around 150 to spend.

i will be running the sub(s) off a alpine M500 mono amp giving 500w rms into 2ohm.

at the moment i am considering a brand new alpine type R 12" with the dual voice coils so i can run it at 2ohm and turn the gain down a bit. or i have been offered two fussion 400w max subs for £50. now i can run those in parallel to get the 2ohm.

what ya all think?

any other ideas then please say................. :boggle:
