So i've got two basic choices for my subwoofers! Either i get ONE alpine type R 12 inch sub that goes for about $100 or i get 2 Kenwood 12" subs for $45 bucks each. What should i do??? Any other ideas? my budget is around $100 for the subs so try to keep it in that range... Thank you!

BTW Alpine is garbage.

And for the guy who says alpine is garbage there's something seriously wrong with you. With my setup I have ( the box makes it sound this good ) it hits harder than anyone I know with diamonds or kenwoods. You get what you pay for why else would the Type R cost 250 new ? It's one of the most expensive you can buy at a audio store or best buy.




Personal taste really. I don`t like the sounds of Alpine Type R's at all. Way too sloppy. Yes they have big boom, but that doesn`t mean it has clean sound.
Loud does not equal quality. $250 is not an expensive subwoofer by any means. I carry about 10 subwoofers in store that are at least double the $$ and double the quality. Never buy an audio system at Best Buy laugh.gif


In all truth, if you want something that has both REAL quality and big boom to it, look at the JLW6 subwoofer. Its going to blow your budget out of the water however. You guys need a real demo for music to hear what quality sound is. I don`t even think I should post up my system to show what real SQ is like.
