Im looking for a new system to purchase. I need help choosing a new HU amp and sub combo. I use to have 2 12" alpine type R's MRD-M300 powering them and a alpine 7893 HU i spent a total of around 2000 for everything. Now i want something a little more powerful and cleaner for around the same price. The car its going in is a 03 grand am with the monsoon system.

 

im thinking all you probably need is a front end upgrade, or possibly a bit more power.

 

sorry for the misunderstanding but i sold the car with the system. Im looking into buying another one. but in this new one i want something different pref. better sq. The type R's didn't do it for me.

thanks

You might have been happier with the Type R's if you had given them some more power and possibly changed the enclosure.
I would recommend a pair of 12's or a single 15 and look for a sub amp that will do ~1000rms at the desired impedence. With the proper box it should give the desired effect.

There's a huge list of subs I could suggest so do a search and find the one that sounds best for you.

or you could buy some of my stuff. Check the for sale threads.

 

you think the type r's can handle 1000 rms each and still produce a clean sound. If so then im off to apw in chatham tommorow. and about the enclousure the one i had was the Red Alpine one(ported) so if someone has a box recommendation i would appreciate it.

thanks

I don't think they would do 1000rms each safely lol, what I think he meant was get an amp to do about 1000rms and run then around the 500rms range, my had a buddy in chatham that had the Type R's and somehow kept breakin the Tinsel leads.

 

A friend of mine used to have 2 UDimension 1K's powering his 2 10" Alpine Type R's.

Sounded awesome...he hit 138's in a small box and still competed in SQ comps.

Type R's will take 1KW easily all day long.
