most of us don't like to do your shopping for you.

You can do an online search as well as the rest of us. I found 108.00 US in about 22 seconds.

You could talk to the vendors on this site, by pm, by phone or by e-mail.

Or, you could step away from the computer..... and actually go to a store.
I find the Cash in Hand approach works best. Really! Try walking around a car audio shop with cash in your hand. Not only do you get great service, you'll get a great deal.
Buying package deals or systems is definately the best pricing you'll find.
Buying one item at a time, one from each vendor, is the really expensive way to build a system. Been there, done that!

Good Luck.

I have a quick question about an Alpine type R. I have one 12 hooked up to an alpine amp (m650). Is it even possible to blow my sub?

StickyFingaz 06-15-2007 12:44 AM

Absolutely. If your amp is clipping it will cook it up nice. Make sure you set your gains and crossovers on your amp properly...

RyanR 06-15-2007 01:36 AM

I wish I could set them properly but I dont know how since I'm new to the car audio scene. Right now I believe all the dials on the amp are set in the middle. Is there any specifc way I should have them set?

There are a few gain setting tutorials out there, find one that has the by ear method, and its quite easy to do if you have a nice quiet place to work.
