A stock Jetta won't be able to handle 2000w RMS. I have a 03' Jetta and I have slight headlight dimming at 500-600w RMS (it's actually probably less then that). You will need to upgrade the alterantor and "big 3" (read sticky) for that vehicle. Even if you go with 1000w RMS you should be doing the big 3 upgrade. The Type-X works well in a ported enclosure, I would recommend that. If you go with a fiberglass enclosure then it is a lot more work though.

alpine type x or jl 12w7? the jl one looks more badass but the alpine might have better sound quality.any opinions help.legit o puss

You actually have it backwards. The Alpine, if properly powered and housed - meaning at LEAST a PDX1.1000 - will be an amazing output machine, with the sacrifice of extension. The JL, also if properly powered and housed - is far more an SQ woofer with respectable output capabilities.My choice is without question the JL, but I will always choose SQ over SPL.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

2 alpine type r’s or 1 type x? which one would slap harder. because they are roughly the same price, i could go with eitherlegit o puss

i kind of want the jl one now lol. it looks so sick, and it would do work.   what type of box should it be in, cuz i want to make a sealed fiberglass for the looks but as far as sound goes i want the bestlegit o puss
