Alpine Type R vs Type S
I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in my 2004 Avalance, and am wondering if any of you audio experts out there have any experience with these speakers? For the front doors I will be doing the 6.75" components, and just 6.75" speakers in the rear doors.
I'm guessing that the power supply will be a key factor in this, as the Type S speakers are 80w RMS and the Type R is 110w RMS. For the Type S speakers I think I would go with the Alpine MRPF300 amp, which is 4x50 RMS. I if used the same amp for the Type Rs would it be pointless, and I'd just be better off with the Type Ss??? |
You'll get more output and better performance from the more closely matched speaker and amplifier than you will underpowering better speakers.

Type s sound amazing with low wattage around 50-75 wards that a cd player could push. I have 4 in my boat ran by the deck and they sound great. The type rs actually sound horrible unless u are gonna be running less than 125

Just a little FYI...your CD player is really only putting out about 14-15 watts to those speakers. The rating for them is MAX which is more marketing than anything.

Type R! enough said.

Thanks guys. I ended up going with the Type Rs. Did the 6.5" Component speakers in the front doors, and 6.5" Coaxials in the rear doors of my Avalanche. I figure for now I can just run them at 50w each, and then I'll always be able to upgrade the amp when the funds allow. Just out of curiosity, I did bridge the amp and gave the component speakers about 100w just to see what their full potential is...you could definitely notice a little bit of a difference.
