Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 562 Registered: Jul-04 | Hey, I just ordered my subs should take a week and a halft to 2 weeks to get them. I thought they would cost more though, only 308 shipped. Is RE run by only a few people??? It seemed kind of awkward ordering from them because it seemed like it was just some guy trying to scam me because of the way he sounded. lol. |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2600 Registered: Jan-05 | How much did just 1 of them run you, and whats the 12's rms? Lol, I think you can trust RE. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 482 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah, I know what you mean Chris. I am probably going to be ordering 3 RE10's. I called them like a week ago just to get some more info and the price. The guy on the other end sounded kind of like a stoner... I think they need to find someone a little more personable to run their phones. |
|
Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 565 Registered: Jul-04 | yeah, i agree he did sound like a stoner. 77 shipped for 1, so X4 = 308. Basically 77 shipped for each one you buy. RMS for the 12 is 175. |

Silver Member Username: Jb502Omaha, NE Post Number: 128 Registered: Jun-05 | if re's are on ly 77 dollars, how are they so much better than alpine type r's. I mean cmon 175 wattts rms. And you say they are better then type r's. I don't believe it. |
|
Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 566 Registered: Jul-04 | wattage does not always determine weather or not a sub is good. Why are you even bringing up Type R's, i have never talked about them ever. Are you saying that anything that is not really expensive isnt good??? Also, i got 4 of them, not one. Just one of them prob wouldnt be as good as a type r. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 486 Registered: Apr-05 | I would take RE12's over Type R's any day. Rms wattage doesn't always mean everything. Plus, I can't understand why alpine doesn't post any T/S parameters on their site. To me, if a company doesn't post that kind of info they are trying to hide stuff. Like does anyone know what the Xmax of the Type r is? I can't find it anywhere.... that is my point. |

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 567 Registered: Jul-04 | Hey issac, do you think that 1 re12 would be louder than a typer r??? Just curious thats all. I got four of them, i think i will have the most trunk rattle in town, even with all of the Edead i got. lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 487 Registered: Apr-05 | I don't think that 1 RE 12 would be louder than a Type R 12. But I do think that the RE would have better SQ. 4 of them should be very loud with some very good SQ. That sounds like it will be a pretty tight setup when your done! What are you doing for the enclosure(s)? |

Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 384 Registered: May-05 | hey chris. good to see you rebounded from "relinquishing" yourself of those blasted tdx's (i love those subs). i look forward to hearing what you do with these matched with your zapcos and dls's. i'm guessing youre going to run all four off your 500.1 w/an underated 125watts/sub? |

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 568 Registered: Jul-04 | I would like to build my own sealed box, but i have dont it before and it is a big hassle for me since i dont have anything that can cut the circles. My dad had to do it and it is really hard on him because he has a bad back and shoulders. I have decided instead to buy 2 prefab dual enclosures off of ebay that are 1 cubic feet per chamber. On RE's site it lists that size as the recommendation. The enclosures will only cost me about 90 bucks shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem%26item%3D5790386751&category=14945 %26 |

Bronze Member Username: ThenoosePost Number: 95 Registered: Mar-05 | i would take the 2005 model of the type r over the re but if we were talking about the 04 alpine then re would be the way to go |
|
Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 489 Registered: Apr-05 | When I calculated the enclosure volume with the dimensions that guy gave in the auction it comes out to be a littlle over 1 cubic foot per side. It is more like 1.1, but it should be good. In his description he said: "The front of the box is angled - stay away from straight front boxes as they do not pound as hard nor are they space efficient." I don't think that is entirely true at all. I don't know a ton about boxes though. I am just wondering why the hell would a angled front pound harder than a straight front. I think he is just trying to sell his box I'm sure. Looks like a good box though. I think that buying prefab sealed boxes is fine. |

Silver Member Username: Jb502Omaha, NE Post Number: 131 Registered: Jun-05 | i know the xmax of the type r. I brought up alpine's cuz that is what i have, and everyone says, "oh, re's will blow alpines away", i have never heard of re's, then i find out they are 77 dollars and hand 175 watts, there is no way they are better. By the way the xmax of a 12 inch type r is 18.1 mm. Is that good? |
|
Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 386 Registered: May-05 | it's really relative. the xmax of the brahama is 28mm. i'm guessing that once you have a particular xmax, you won't want to go back down again. so, if the previos subs extended <18mm, then yes lol, its good. there are plenty other parameters to look at also though (obviously). |

Silver Member Username: Audiobass10Cape Coral, FL United States Post Number: 177 Registered: Jul-05 | Chris, since you decided to go with the prefab sealed enclosure, i'd suggest doing a couple things to it before adding the subs. Run a bead of liquid nails thruogh all the interior joins just to make sure its completely sealed and also adding some interior bracing wouldn't be a bad idea either. Since the enclosure is 3/4" MDF and built right in RE's spec range for a sealed enclosure, you're going to be alright. Also, you could add some polyfill to the enclosure as well. |

Silver Member Username: Mike_anthesCanton, SD USA Post Number: 172 Registered: Aug-04 | hey juston is that 1 way or both ways...cuz if thats 2 ways thats not that pretty...but if its one way...i guess its not too bad...but we would apprieciate it if you didn't bring up yur type rs on every single tread...it seems like every post has something to do with yur precious type rs...ok...please let it go...we all know what ya got you dont need to put down other systems and say yur system would dominate...honestly...i could give my brahma 15 like 600 watts and beat yur type rs...VERY easily...lol... |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike_anthesCanton, SD USA Post Number: 173 Registered: Aug-04 | and im sry i just put yur system next to mine..but yur posts finally got irratating to me... |
|
Silver Member Username: Jb502Omaha, NE Post Number: 134 Registered: Jun-05 | thats one way, i'm tired of everyone jumping on the re bandwagon, i you can put 600 watts to your sub, do it, until then, you got nothin. |

Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 569 Registered: Jul-04 | I too am getting sick of the whole Typer R shizzit. It is not like i am getting 1 or 2 of them, i am getting 4 of them. 4 of them will whoop your 2 or whatever the hell you got. Later on down the road i can get another zapco reference 500.1 and 4 more of the re's. Then i will have 8 of them in the trunk of my monte. lol. |

Silver Member Username: Dominirica012Charlotte, North Carolina US Post Number: 355 Registered: May-05 | people thank you for finally seeing what ive been talking about...no one compares RE to Alpine...every post i see you make your talking about those fu**ing Type Rs..damn no one cares about your subwoofers i bought my amp/sub/deck/box with around the same money that you paid for only your box and i'll put my sh!t up agaisnt yours..i might lose but not by much and i spent 1/3 as much as you |
|
Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 575 Registered: Jul-04 | Yeah, 700 for a box is really friggin retardead. |

Bronze Member Username: Rayb_satxPost Number: 21 Registered: Jul-05 | oh yea....and the thing with the type r....ur prolly referring to the post i had about what subs are good for SPL....and u posted alpine type r...when everyone was comparing the likes of re's XXX and SX. now in that situation....there is no comparison. |

Silver Member Username: Rob315Cuse, NY U.S. Post Number: 502 Registered: Jan-05 | there isnt?....take a look at this.... http://thecaraudiobox.com/eventpicsandvids/ its all in the install...but i too am sooooo sick of hearing about his type r's. i have almost the same setup(different amps) and i spent under $1000 for EVERYTHING...deck, wires, subs, amps(2 mrd m501's) |
|
Silver Member Username: Audiobass10Cape Coral, FL United States Post Number: 180 Registered: Jul-05 | Bingo. I actually was lookin for Marks boxes. and u posted that. 151 with 2 Type S 12's right now |
|
Silver Member Username: FfxdevilarmsDubuque, Iowa United States Post Number: 579 Registered: Jul-04 | Just ordered my enclosures!!! The total cost of my new setup, not including the amp that i allready have is a little under 375 dollars for the subs and 2 dual sub inclosures. I would have to say that that is a pretty good deal. I sold my sub at 325 and the other one ended at 177 no reserve met. It only cost me 50 bucks for my new setup, so i think i am going to keep my other TDX for future use with a more powerful amp. |
