I'm interested in getting 2 12" Alpine Type R DVC subs. Anyone have any personal experience with these?? I would be using them in a Q logic box (.85 cu ft for each sub). Let me know what you think about them.

 

i have 2 12" type r subs svc and they are really nice...they have a clean bass sound not all distorted.....it all depends on what amp you are running them with

 

Check out the Infinity Kappa Perfect subs. I heard those are sweet.

 

Why do you need dual voice coil subs?

 

FLEXIBILITY!

So I can run 2 at 4 ohms bridged... Also, in case I find another Memphis ST1000d, I can run them at 1 ohm. I'd only get a SVC if I were going to run 1 sub or if I had an amp that maxed power at 2 ohms, which I don't.

 

Yeah but their heavy as crap and their sensitivity is waaay lower than SVC.

The specs are exactly the same at the Alpine website....

Sensitivity....Weight.....EVERYTHING!!!!

Do you mean an amp???? Give it clean 300-500 watts and you'l be fine..

 

yup..amp is what i meant. thanx. any recommendations on brands to go with? i am thinkin of running all alpine. (head unit, amp,sub, component set, and eq.)

 

You believe specs??

I bet they say they reproduce bass down to 20 hz too.

Don't believe everything you read in promotional propaganda.
