alpine what, subs? Also what is your amplifier rated at? If you buy a DVC 4ohm then you have the option for either 2 or 4. need some omre details for what you have and what you want.

 

switch from w7 to type s?

 

yes my w7 ripped when my screw driver slipped and ripped the beast

 

I believe those parts are replaceable on the W7. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Modified by kb12 at 4:11 PM 7/15/2005</TD></TR></TABLE> The RMS power handling on the Alpine type S subs is 300watts each, the JL amp you have is 150watts RMS x 2 into 1.5-4 ohms, [stereo] it is not stable below 3 ohms when bridged, so you have an amp that will give you about 300watts RMS mono into 3-8 ohms, although it would work, it really is not enough to run two 300 watt subs. 94

 

it could run the subs but i wont be pushing the subs to peak...thanks fcm i will probably look into a new amp.

I have had more then one JL sub re-coned, we have a shop down in Vancouver that will re-cone any speaker, and do a very good job, and unless the re-coning kit from JL is diff. then the original, they are using generic ones, but they work well 94

 

I thought you might be able to order replacement parts directly from JL. Some of the high excursion woofers like kicker I believe, will sell the cones and surround. Then end user is able to replace these parts by themselves. I think kicker calls it "SPAIR" which is just the surround, cone, and spider in one replaceable piece.

Anybody with a little patients can re-cone a speaker. 94

 

a 300/2 isnt enough to run a w7 in the first place.

 

well i didnt even get to see it so....but im kinda of glad i didnt cuz that might have been to loud for the thieves once i got a new amp to handle that power. plus that 50 lb beast was a hassle for reals but i got a new setup once i get the money
