i would be running a sealed box if i were to get the 2 10'' kicker cvrs because i already have the box but if i get the 1 12'' alpine type r, i plan on pickin up a ported box. a rockford fosgate 1000a2 amp will be powering these subs. what would you guys prefer? thanks in advance.

 

IF think space an issuse then get 1 12" sub.

 

I would go with the two 10", the vented box for a 12" Type R is 1.7cuft internal volume and the sealed box for two 10" CompVRs is 1.6cuft internal, [min.] so the amount of room used up will be about the same, and the two 10" will move more air, have a tighter more accurate sub bass, although it will be easier to get a lower F3 point with the 12" in a vented box. 94

 

I'd also go with the cvr's since they sound better but they'd do poorly sealed...

 

Actually they sound pretty good although the optimum sealed SQ box would be 6cuft, kind of big.
For SPL your looking at 3.5cuft net, slot port box, too boomy for me.

Also, the OP has the seald box, and my guess is, it is bigger then 1.6cuft but smaller then 6cuft. 94

 

i've decided to go with 2 10'' type rs instead. i have read too much about kickers being loud and not the best sub as far as sound quality. at least thats what i read about cvrs.

 

if i had the option i would run 2 10's, one 12 is just loud, but 2 10's will be perfect for normal music

 

 

Good choice

 

x2 I rock 2 10's and all music sounds good, but if you just want to pound beats then go with the 12''.

 

ppl tel me that the type r speakers aren't as good as kickers or rockford fosgates, even the ppl that install systems all day run away from them

 

Let me guess

10's for tight bass

15's for the lows

 

sure...

 

two 10 inch jl w7's for tight low bass

 

over kill^

 

1 12' w3 should do it.

 

every1 around hererun 2 12 kicker solobarics or 12 pioneers

 

after a 10 inch w7 you would know what real bass is

 

people pick cvr's over type r's? wtf haha... i'd go type r over cvrs any day. good choice. throw out the prefab and get a ported tuned enclosure...

 

cvr's sound way better than type r's

 

why is it cheaper? or is it that you find it every where @ the flea market? maybe both? the only sub that actually performed well and i like were the old skool round solo barics. other than that the l5 l7 solo x are over rated.

 

why is it cheaper? the hell kind of question is that.

 

Get two of these

 

u will need an extra motor to pull n power those lol the mags r huge

on a personel note i dont see the hype about type r speaker when i checked them out at a local sound store they weren't impressive like the kickers or pioneers but thats just me it seems u either need a bigger box or special box i guess 4 them 2 perform but i do like how they look
