RE: TYPE R!!!
I'm sorry, didn't realize that you are now just arguing for the sake of arguing. Carry on.....

No because your comparing apples to oranges. What your comparing is like us comparing the settings on your head unit to the Pizza Hut to Papa Johns pizza. Because it's all down to how and what you hear (car audio)or how and what you like (pizza)If you wanta comparisonto car audio onyour pizza bit there it's like comparing one of those $2 Totinos pizzas (Type-R)to a local pizza places pan pizza (XXX). It's not some small frozen, minimal toppings crap pizza. It's big, lots of fresh toppings, and cooked perfectly.
I get those every once and a while too. Generally when I answer a question quickly and without any sarcasm to someones question. I haven't gotten alot lately but I say in the past month or two I have gotten 6-8 messages on products to consider, how to set things up etc.
So don't bash us and say were ****** to everyone. We do infact help quite a few people on a regular basis, they just tend to listen go do it and not come back here unless they have another problem, they dont come back and complain about what we said because if they take our advice and suggestions 90% of the time they are more than happy and just send a message saying thank you.

Ok. Imade a threadasking a relevent question and yousaid "go away[&:]".
How is that helping?....If your not going to help why bother posting anberating comment on a thread? Not everyone has unlimited funds to spend on their cars. I wanted a setup for under $500 and I got a 30%-40% discount on everything. How did I deserve to get flamed for that?....

Go away.
LOL. Too funny.
You will never be able to go anywhere (including Best Try) and purchase an entire system for $500. And we never give suggestions that are outragously priced unless your someone that (and this was just a few days ago) asked for a single woofer and amp set that performed beautifully and got very loud for under $2k. And that yes was a high priced suggestion, but thats what he asked for. 95% of the time, we shout out smaller brands that most people can get over the internet, that is equal priced to many national brands in the national stores, but have superior performance.
Im just really sick of people saying we suggest the most expensive equipment all the time, when in fact I have only suggested something with a nearly unlimited budget once in the past year here.
you guys gotta be kidding right?
If I ask you who makes your favorite pizza and what was on it, and then told you that their pizza sucked and that pappa johns was better would it hurt your feelings? If it does then go buy an import. Asking people what their favorite brand of equipment is just like asking someone about their favorite pizza. They are both as important as one another.... Do ya understand?

For every idiot boasting about the quality of type R's, there is somone PM'ing me asking for a good setup. I consider that mission aaccomplished.

I have to put my .02 in......I have no probs with Type R's. I have ran them and was satisfied. I hate the this brand - vs- this brand - vs- that brand argument. Not to say that some products aren't better than others. MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF A SOUND SYSTEM: INSTALL, INSTALL, INSTALL!!!!!!!!! Regardless of equipment choice, the install can make great components sound like s**t, or cheap components sound great. Also, don't expect great things from prefab enclosures, you're not gonna get it. The best money/time spent is on the proper enclosure regardless of sealed or ported. This info, you can take to the bank!!!!!!!!!

"intermodulation distortion"?????????? please tell me you are kidding?
Again, what did this post accomplish? He didn't say anything that wasn't true, there is no need to attack him. He can keep his "alpine nut hugging butt" here just like you and I can and should not feel attacked.

The highlited quotes are the ones everyone should pay no attention to.
By the way genius...all a bass blocker is, is a design to lower intermodulation distortion for decently small drivers. Idiot. Take your Alpine nut hugging butt out of the audio/visual section.

IMO,
In answer to your question hpwrestler220, I myself have an '01 V6 with 2 Alpine Type R 10s in the trunk. If you are interested in 1 12" Alpine Type R, it will sound great, trust me. Alpine is a top quality company as is JL. Just so long as you match the sub to the amp, you will definitely get great bass. In fact going with 1 12" is a good idea because I sure don't have any trunk space left with the box I got for my 2 10s. My suggestion would be to go with a clean system. By that I mean, you don't want to be all bass and not hear any lyrics. With that said, I would suggest going with a good head unit and good speakers in the car. Put bass blocks on the speakers in the car and then you won't have to worry about the distortion you get when small speakers try to create big bass. With that sub you will have all the bass you need.

As for you Hiss, why don't you put down your "Word a Day" calendar and quit blowing smoke up peoples ###.

Therefore, guess what it stops the speakers from distorting and provides quality clean sound.
Noamplified audio signalwill ever provide 0% distortion. It's a fact. Nor will "bass blockers" even come close to elimating distortion, or as you put it "Wont have to worry about distortion" and "Stops distortion and provides quality, clean sound".
I love it how people insult us when we give our opinions on things and then people go out and make statements like that.

I agree with the fact that the key factor to a sound system is install. The key fact that you are missing is that the Type R is a mediocre driver. In a perfectly designed enclosure, the type R will sound its best, and if you like the way it sounds, great. I have experience in a lot of different brands, including some you cannot buy from a local retailer, and will inform you that in my opinion, the type R can be out performed by many subs in the same price range.
