Im looking to get 1 10" alpine type r sub do you think this will be enough or should I get 2? Im not looking to shake my rearview off or anything just some clean bassss that I can feel. Do you think ill have to replace my factory speakers?

 

Here's what I did in my '08:







The box is ~18.5" x 12.5" x 6.5", the sub is a JL 10", and the amp is a JL 250.1

I don't know what the rest of your system is, and I'm not sure something like this could be adapted to the OEM setup and result in good sound.

The rest of the system includes a Kenwood receiver, Boston 6.5" component speakers all in the stock mounts, and another JL amp for those speakers. The bass won't rattle the license plate or rear voew mirror, but it sounds like you're looking for the same thing I was.

 

Depends on the music you listen to, I have 2 10" RF subs n a zen enclosure and the sound is very nice, though I can really make the car bump when necessary. I say go with twins, you can always turn the bass down.

 

took the words right out of my mouth, you can never have enough bass, and if its to loud, TURN IT DOWN

 

I went with a single sub high quality components and a solid amp. Its more than loud enough for me and clear,rich sound. But I listen to mostly new and old school rock so I wasn't looking to make the houses vibrate as I drove by

 

i have 1 jl w6 v2 in the understrut box and its more than enough at 500rms. crisp, clear, and loud!

 

people still buy JL Audio? SMH

 

I have a single 10 type r on a 500w amp and when i pimp it i want more. Get 2 and 1000w amp.

 

do a 15"

 

Single 10 is just fine unless you stuck in the 90's and love Ghetto thumping.

 

@meister do you have the alpine 500 class d mono amp?

 

Anything in your guy's car rattle now because of the bass? Like when the bass is off anything loose?

 

Does a sub behind the driver seat in the stock sub location sound good? I cant decide where to place mine.

 

Not unless you mount it in a proper box. Free-air setups sound like crap (I.e. Bose).

 

+1

Just get a zenclosure single 10" box and call it a day.

It will sound fine.

I've not had any experience with the R subs. I had the components and hated them though.

 

What's your beef with JL?

 

nope mine is a kenwood, but i had it tested and it put out 515W @ 2 ohms.

 

it vibrates everything, but nothing rattles. Especially my trunk, i cant stand it when people go around rattling their effing hyundai trunk. I would say you would want a MINIMUM 750 watts for your car. I wish i had a bigger amp for mine. The type r will take 750 easily.

 

over priced and over hyped

 

I payed 119.99 for my 10w3,doesnt really seem over priced and sounded as good as anything within 100 bucks of it. But I listen to rock and I am not looking for a silly amount of base. I liked their components as well but thought the Hertz and a richer sound for the money.
