New member Username: MsandsteadColorado Springs, Colorado Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-09 | I had a friend install my two Alpine type R subs a while ago. but now I want to upgrade my system and get a better amp and deck. However, the two subs are slightly different and I dont know how to tell what theyre specs are. They are both 12" Type R's but one has a smooth rubber edge while the other has a few ridges around the edge. I bought them at different times from Ebay so I no longer have the boxes either. I'm not sure if anyone knows the difference, but I would appreciate any help. thanks |

I really dont want to have to tear apart my box to check the back of the subs, but no one seems to know how to tell the difference otherwise. |

New member Username: MsandsteadColorado Springs, Colorado Post Number: 4 Registered: Oct-09 | Oh yeah, those are the two different types. Ive been looking all over for that! I have them in the same sealed box which was wired to an Alpine amp by a friend of mine. It's time for a new amp and deck because I know the current amp isnt all too powerful and honestly I'm not even sure it was designed to support two subs. So if you have any suggestions to what amps I should look at, I'd really appreciate it! |
