ok a friend of mine wants to put two tens in a single custom box. we got the box made and its gout about 1 cubic foot per sub and its sealed. we were looking at the alpine e series and was wondering what is the best entry level sub.

You can't go wrong with Kicker in my opinion, Ebay will hook you up with something in your budget <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

I love my Alpine TypeR

Kicker Comp VR. Hits nicely and very affordable.

^^^+1.

kicker l5 or l7

what is the budget? <BR> <BR>Here are some Crystal subs for $40ea. <BR><a href="http://www.sounddot.com/" target="_blank">http://www.sounddot.com/</a>

Check their specs, each sub has it's own volume requirement for a sealed enclosure. Looks like you guys went backward and now would have to find a sub to fit the box.

I put in an AlumaPro BP 8 it pounds

This is good up to a cubic ft. <a href="http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&amp;Product_I D=3146" target="_blank">http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&amp;Product_I D=3146</a> <BR> <BR>Series the VC to 4ohms on both subs then parallel them back into a 600.1 amp such as the alpine pdx. It will smash real good!

Definitely a fine sub Hate n Pain, but I'd advise against as its a paper based cone - not good for the long term with so many poly based cones available.

wetsounds they have one for every budget! i replaced my clarion with the wetsounds xs-10fa. wow what a difference. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by kko13 on May 28, 2008)

c4audio.com <BR> <BR>they thump and they are cheap!

What is the amp you are using to run the subs? Need to know what it can handle before a good recommendation can be made. Secondly what is the budget? <BR> <BR>And check out soniceletronix.com they have great pricing.

Oh and i would stay away from the Alpine Type E. Alpine makes a great sub in the Type R and Type X. Everything else is just disappointing, they don't hit hard, and have alot of distortion in them. And you can get a better all around sub for the same price as the E usually.

i was told the new alpine type e is way better than the old. We have an mtx jackhammer amp that we are going to run at 2 ohms to power both. i think it puts us at 325rms to each? ive also been told its way better to over power a sub than to underpower it. my friend pulled the trigger on those new alpines so i guess we shall see. may have to go the kicker route in the end

Entry Level: <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/585062.jpg" alt="Upload">

I had 1 10" MTX from circuit city last year powered by an alpine 200 watt rms amp and it pounded. Subs were buy 1 get 1 free. Okay I guess entry level might not necessarily mean bargain hunting but I was happy with that setup.

i got 2 12s MTX and they hit really hard, the subs only cost me a 100 bucks. very god subs for the price

Image Dynamics ID/IDQV3 is a great way to go. Lots of output and they are a very accurate woofer. Great in a marine environment.
