I come home today to see the box that was shipped to my house containing the two subs i asked for for xmas. So they are just chillin in my living room and i can even touch them. [:@]

 

Just open them take em out and put a brick back in each box, No one will know.

 

what subs did you get

 

Got two alpine Type-s, 10 inch.

 

good choice

 

From someone who had both Type S and Type R subs, I enjoyed the Type S subs better. They blended better with my front stage. Even after giving my Diamonds 2x100, they couldn't play loud enough to give even frequency response.

 

I am glad to hear that they are really good. I did reasearch to find the right subs and thats what i came up with. I can't wait to put them in my car.

 

So type S is better than type R... why???

 

The type R's are more expensive???

 

I didn't say either was better. I suppose if you break down the physical sub,the Type R is, of course, better. Large surround, stiffer cone, more throw, larger mag., etc. etc.

I had two sets of speakers that I ran in conjunction with 2 Type R 12s. One was a set of Diamond M6 or M5 comps. and the other was a set of Focal Polyglass comps.
I gave each set over 100 watts RMS. I just couldn't get the subs/comps to make smooth transition into one another. Even though the Type S couldn't handle as much power and bottomed out/maxed out a lot quicker, they still "fit" much better. The Type Rs were always in your face. If you turned them down to mellow them out, you weren't giving them enough juice and it was obvious.

I WILL say that when I ran one Type R, it was a decent overall sound, but I had to overpower it to get the desired volume which led to me frying several of them.
