the two type r's will get louder than the 1 type x. Enclosure and install will be important. What's your budget for subs? |

SPL stands for sound pressure level.
A SPL sound from a subh means that you sacrifice SQ for pure loudness
SQL is right in the middle., |

I'd have to say the R's are SQL subs and the X's are SQ. 2 12" Type R's on a AQ1200D. Doesn't get too much more cheaper than that and still hold quality. Don't be stuck on Alpine unless you get a discount or something, broaden your horizons.

do a single 12 in that car in a box around 2 cubes or less and youll be happy....my brother had a saturn and it hit best up in the low 50 hz range with a high fs sub (probably 40 hz) how big of an alternator are you going to run because that will help determine how much power you can run without alot of voltage drop....also include what other amp or amps your going to run besides the hifonics amp you listed |
