man, and on the cheaper side too!

We just got these in yesterday. I was so busy I didn't open one up and check it out. Looks good.

The Architect · 04-07-2010, 09:16 PM

hmm, I'm skeptical but they're slightly sexier with the tech talk to back it up (At least from Alpine)

170 shipped each on ebay isnt too bad but I wanna see real world differences and results before I buy 3 new ones and a 2000 watt amp to match the new specs.

Palmer812 · 04-07-2010, 10:09 PM

Architect just drive to NC and I will let you put them in your car and try them out.

The Architect · 04-07-2010, 10:50 PM

Since you already have Type-R subs, I wouldn't get the new ones.

Can't be that much difference in sound quality.

The new ones are a little more shallow, and can handle a little more power.
( 100 more watts RMS )

I still like last years model Type-R subs.
My little 10" Type-R sounds great. I enjoy it more everytime I listen to it.
It's not overpowering, it sits nice in the mix.
Good strong bass. I'm glad I didn't get two of them.
One gets the job done.

If I didn't already have my Type-R sub, I would get one of the new ones.

thats cool that they are using, or came up with a new linear motor technology, and even added Dumax Charts for the Bl curve & Kms. However, that new motor doesn't really stay linear that long. It was flat for the first half of the x-max value (first 10mm)... then went to a normal Bl curve... and then eventually craped out at 17mm.

All in all, it should be a good sounding sub. Probably one of the lowest distortion subs that retails for under $200.

I haven't looked at the T/S specs yet... hopefully this thing isn't running a crazy high Qts value which would make it a large box woofer like the W7 or all the LMS motor woofers.

you can get 8% off with Bing on ebay. so $119.60 shipped.
I may have to get me one of these bad boys, waited long enough. Need a new amp and box tho. The one thing i hate about buying subs, need to make a box and i dont have the technical know how.

swidd · 04-13-2010, 08:09 AM

Is there any way to mount this beauty in the sides of the car, to keep all the space for cargo?

Palmer812 · 04-13-2010, 09:34 AM

Guys, please don't rule out your local stereo shop. They CAN match or beat those prices. I know I can. And if you blow it up you can take it back and swap it out on the spot.

Check the pre-made boxes at SonicElectronix.
They are CHEAP, and most have free shipping, too.

I bought a ported box for my Type-R, and it is very NICE.
$30 with free shipping. You can't beat it.

No need to worry about making your own box.

SonicElectronix has some nice AMPS for cheap too.
500watt RMS class D monoblocks for around $130.

I thought about this, but decided against it.
It would take some fabrication work to properly mount and seal them in.
( and make them look halfway decent back there )

I just went with a single 10" in a ported box.
If I needed the cargo space, I can just unhook the speaker wires, and easily remove the box.

My box takes up half my cargo space in the rear hatch area.
So far, I haven't needed to remove my sub for any reason, but I don't haul anything big with my Yaris.
I use my GMC truck if I need to haul big stuff.

My Yaris is just a city car.
