alpine type X....

jimbeam211 · 03-02-2007, 02:58 PM

I was thinking about getting a alpine type X and pushing it with a MRD-M1005alpine amp, just wondering if any body had one, knows any body with one or knows any thing about them that you think that i should know
thanks you, Gage

If you are sure its the Type X then its too deep to put in a titan unless you want to give up the back seat. You need a sub with a much shallower mounting depth.

i think i am going to have to give up the back seat well half of it do you thing a alping type R 12" could fit under my seat or maybe to and what kind of ported box should i get or if you have any other idea's about subs amps or anything please feel free to say

If you take some time and do a little reading you will find TONS of info on different peoples setups.

Tech 12 is the man for boxes. He will build you a killer box setup exact for your sub. It wont be a prefab box but one custom for your needs. He will also give you all the advice you want just send him a PM.

You can go with sealed or ported. That is your call on what you want. Clean sounding bass or really loud rip your head off. Tech has a couple designs for each.

thanks do you know any thing about obcon godzilla boxes

**t22a80** · 03-02-2007, 04:23 PM

Never heard of them? Are they a premade generic box?

jimbeam211 · 03-02-2007, 04:33 PM

yeah they are made for max spl i think you can find them on google they are some pretty hell-ashous boxes

**t22a80** · 03-02-2007, 04:39 PM

If you want maximum SPL then ported is what you want. However if you dont put the right sub and box together it could be a bad combination!!

Ported boxes are much more difficult to work at their best than a sealed box because of air space, port size and length, and tuning frequencies, etc.

If you have a sub in mind talk to tech 12, he'll be able to make them work perfectly together to get the most bang for your buck!!

If you want a ported box I would recomend having one custom built for your subs. Now I have had pre-fab boxes that worked excelent with the subs I chose but some of it was luck or picking the right sub for the box.

If you REALLY want Bass do a Bandpass setup, it will be even louder than a tuned box. But, you are sacrificing alot of SQ...

What is up with this Alpine stuff? Somebody needs to set down the Jim Beam. LOL. Alpine does not make very good amps or subs... Look into Sundown Audio, US Amps, Opti, Elemental Designs or Memphis for your amps. TC Sounds, RE Audio, FI Audio, Sound Splinter or Stereo Integrity for subs. 2 12" ported should do the trick. Tech12volt can build you an enclosure. Never buy prefab boxes. Your gonna need a lot of sound deadener...

These are about as crappy as boxes get.

HAHA! I'm not sure they are the worst, they do use 3/4 and caulk the joints! Better than some boxes I've seen. But the bottom line is its still a prefabed box, and they as a rule suck.

The one I saw was 5'8" MDF evn know they say 3/4" and it was very cheap wood. The caulking is a joke. It is more of a bandaid the way companies like this build enclosures. The carpet was the cheapest crap made. These boxes suck period.

OK, you are right, they suck.

Talk to Tech 12 for a quality enclosure!!
