First thing I would like to say is definitely dont do just a 1 cu enclose for a 12" type r, i worked at bestbuy for a while and our type r's on display were in 1 cu boxes and it just completely ruined the sound of such a nice sub. Seriously we lost so many sales to customers wondering why our second most expensive sub sounded so much worse (the type e's in the same enclosure honestly sounded better).

Second off I have to admit, my brother has some old fanatic x 6.5s in his car that we picked up really cheap, the vocal are great. I went for alpine type x's myself and have been really happy with them, but hearing the newer alpine type s series speakers the midrange is really detailed and smooth, for the price they are a very very nice sounding speaker. I would put them above most any of the fosgates myself, and honestly within decent range of the type x line.

you think 1.5 will be fine for each one. I now have the infinity kappas have you guys heard them?? I think they sound great, clear, and loud if wanted but defenitively have to play withthe eq as with any speakers to get the best sound out of them...

yeah 1.5 should be just fine, honestly see no reason to go any larger than that. I havent heard the kappas, Ive heard the kappa perfects a few times and overall I have been incredibly impressed with them for their price. I never tend to use infinity speakers or subs much, and dont really know why, every time I listen to any one of their products I am always quite impressed. Any reason you are getting rid of those kappas?

I don't want to get rid of them, i think they sound great , i was just wondering if you have any other suggestions. I think for the price they sound very clean. I'm not sure but i have a problem, i'd like to get a pair of components kappa perfect or the 60.7 cs the ones right after the perfects, see the perects are 4 ohm, while the 60.7 cs are 2 ohm, what to do, i have all my speakers in the car 2 ohm, and was wondering what to do??? get the perfects but how will they sound, they might get underpowerd as comapred to the 2 ohm ones..what do you think...

Or ideal situation get another amp just for the perfects run them at 4 ohms but supple double the power to mach the 2 ohm speakers power rms...??? Any sauggestions??

Go there and see what they are doing with Type R's....

Mark Potts currently holds the MECA M1 record with a couple of Type R 15's IIRC. Team Phat Hertz is doing big things with the Type R's and they are currently the forum boner over at www.caraudio.com. Those things can put up decent numbers (as Mark and Team PH has shown on numerous occasions)

if you're looking for an SQ sub for a really good price, I'd go with an Infinity Kappa Perfect. I had one a while back. I even think it sounds better than the MB Quart premimum I have now...
