New member Username: Zack_krausPost Number: 6 Registered: May-11 | Friday I ordered new equipment for my new car... I've always been partial to alpine so I went alpine equipment ordered was as is... Head unit: ive-w530 component set: spr 60c coaxial: spr 60 sub: swr 12d4 amp: pdx v9... My question to you guys here is how is the newest line of type r equipment I've owned every line but nothing from the newest line of equipment... I love type x woofers but didn't need all that bass this time around... There are so many mixed reviews online and have always trusted opinions on here years ago just wanted to know if I purchased great equipment and if alpine made good improvements to the type r line I already know the pdx amp was a solid purchase just opinions on type r |

I wouldn't worry too much since you already purchased it, at this point I would look at putting it into a well designed enclosure. |
