Hey guys, I'm having trouble deciding between two alpine type-e 12's and two sony 12's the sony's are Sony 12" Subwoofer (XSL121P5 they are max power 1200 but i think the alpines will give me better sound and probably better spl at its given wattage... let me know what you guys think.

without even being that familiar with either one of those models, I would say through brand reputation the Alpines are a safer bet.

Sony tends to grossly overrate their products ratings. And Sonys track record in the car stereo business has not been so great either

Ok I'm looking at getting the type-e's for $60 a piece or I can pick up the S's for $99... these are from circuit city and they seem to have the best pricing on alpine around here... let me know how you guys feel.

Go with the ALpine subs for sure. That sounds like a pretty good price on those Type Es...you can get two for $89 on crutchfield.com though. I wonder where Alpine guy is... You might try PMing him.

I've installed a bunch of Type e's. Sealed box, around 300 - 500 watt. The sound is very very good for that price range sub. Reminds me of the old kicker comps. Able to hold the deep deep bass without the noise.
oh and where do I click to piss on Sony?
