Really???i havent really heard much and you were the first person who has really had any input on the type xs.....what exactly didnt you like about them......how do you guys think an mtx 9500 12" would sound with the mtx 1501d with the right ported box in a cavalier???? also i havent really heard much input on the rockford stuff...anyone??

I heard the Type X sub when the local shop first got them. I was also there to see the first one fail less than half an hour after they started playing it. I just dont think they sound all that good and they definatly werent that reliable. Now I have sense been told by Alpineguy on here that the first run did have bad voice coils and they have since corrected that but I still didnt think they sounded that good. As far as the 9500 goes, thats a ton of power to throw at one of them, esspecially in a ported box so make sure its set right but if you do the install right it is gonna pound harder than the ladies on the Vegas Strip (cheap dig)

double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

IMO the MTX 9500's are a good sub but you cant get more for you're money..A single MTX 9500 would run u up in price at a local shop and not perform as well as the SX series from RE...i would imagine the 9500's are pretty expensive unless you buy them on ebay and that's w/ no warranty. If i were you id go with an SX15..should run you approx. $290 shipped..it can handle loads of power but definitely doesnt need it..put it in the right ported box and it will pound like no tommorow

The XXX's come standard dual 2 ohm....you can get them modified to quad 2 and dual 1..that will run you an extra $25 if i'm not mistaken..maybe 50..you'd have to talk to an RE rep..If you're really interested in getting a modified one i'll ask an RE rep for you..If it were me I would get the standard dual 2 ohm sub.

I wouldn't recommend the W7. Despite it being one of the elite woofers, it is extremely overpriced and there is nothing (in my opinion) that you can get out of it that an Adire Brahma can't do for half the price. I do not recommend the TYPE X's, as they are very power hungry and just do not produce sq like they should. Alpine has been on the decrease lately, sorry to say. MTX makes a nice woofer, and i guess i recommend them. They have there pros and cons. Pros - not very power hungry, good SPL scores. Cons - take up lots and lots of room and don't really have that great of sound quality. RE XXX's are great woofers, i highly recommend them. They have their price tag too, but it is worth every penny. Check out the Adire Brahma at www.adireaudio.com under Car Audio, it is a fantastic woofer. I love mine and they crank. My box is ported ~ 32Hz and it blasts man and maintains fantastic SQ even at full output.

"I don't play games. I play Nakamichi and that for real yo" - Probably some japanese kid said this in the early 80's trying to sell stereo out of his trunk lol.
