No good buying out of a catalogue just on the specs (which is exactly the opposite of what I told you last time when I recommended the Perrless drivers, I know )Anyway if they're in a store someplace, go have a listen and take your own CD.Preferrably one that's not electronic music (like Nickelback or something - they always have good kickin' bass).

They had a look at the box I made and were actually quite impressed and they suggested I purchase the Amp first, then try different subs. They were willing to provide two of each sub they had in stock to try in my car with the Amp that I purchase and whichever ones I am the most happy with I could buy. They had some stock to get rid of so the prices were alright. I was offered an Alpine MRD-M605 class D amp for $600... 600WRMS x 1 @ 2ohmThe options for subs that matched this fairly well were the eclipse SWG123.4 SVC4ohm for $150 each, OR the Alpine TypeS SWS-1222D DVC2+2ohm 900W Peak for the same price.These guys were very helpful and it is really tempting to go see them as they were keen on makins sure I was happy. They even offered to replace the subs I had purchased if I wasnt happy with them after a short period.So who has experience with alpine V12 and type S subs? (everyone?)

Give it a try I reckon - $150 per sub sounds a bit on the cheap side to me, but if it sounds the goods, Bargain![edit] Oh btw - Nice choice of music too boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to strengthen that box anyway so I'm not in a rush. I also need tyres soon $$$$$$$$ oh and a custom tune, injectors, cooler, exhaust, gearbox, typhoon.......................................
