organ_donor you're the best thanks for the lecture, but if you were me and if you have a dnx-8120 in your hands and you need to replace your stock speakers what set of Alpine speakers would you get if you are planning to install a custom box with two 10 inch bass speakers in the back with a 1000 watt Alpine amp attached? assuming you are looking for a 2-way component.

thanks man

 

let's make it simple
will this fit in the Z front and rear?

ohh i almost forgot
do i need to replace the tweeters? are they going to fail soon? my rear speakers are stating to fail

 

I have had an Audiobahn amp/ Subs for 3 or more years now.. Not the flame series though.. They are so strong and going hard till this day!! Im goin deaf cause of them..

 

This is the best website for audiophiles! I can't tell you how many times I've used that site for either relay info or vehicle specific wiring.

Any btw, I've installed Alpine Type-S speakers before and I'd recommend you install your sub the same day if you want any bass at all.

 

yes but these will sound better

If you are running deck power then I would run neither. These Type R's require quite a bit of power and are pretty deep which could make it pretty hard for the install part.

The only component speakers I would run off of the deck (without using a separate amp) would be the Polk Audio DB6501 slim models. The don't need massive power, sound really good and are pretty easy to install into shallow spaces like our Z. If you really must get Alpine, then type S coaxials will run off the deck decently as they are more efficient than the Type R's

 

thanks for all the info, i love you man : )

 

i just bought 2 sets of Polk Audio DB6501, and now in search for an Amp : )

 

had em... burned out VC on 1000w power supply

 

1000 watts on a pair of small speakers? Are you surpised that the VC's were burned?

 

Interested to see your front install with these speakers. Got pics?

 

not yet, im working on the HU and the monitor for the upper cubby right now, speakers will be my last step, i will post some pics when i change the speakers.

 

If anyone is interested in these 6.5" Type R components, I have a set I am about to put up for sale because I am upgrading to some Focals. Throw me an offer and If I like it I'll let you have these. No problems with them what-so-ever.

 

ha, i have some Alpine type x's sitting in a box i dont use and a random free set of pioneer d series components on the way
