I have a new alpine 12" type R 1242D which is a 500W sub with a 1500W peak. My amp is a new alpine mrd-m605 600w rms amp. I have a ported box for lower bass. Does this sound like it might sound good? Thanks a ton!! This is much appreciated!!! any suggestions to help are fine too! Thanks everyone!!! Have a great day!!! =) --Ashley |

Silver Member Username: Racer501ND USA Post Number: 251 Registered: Jun-05 | yes welcome to the forum u know more about subs then i did when i first came here i havent heard alot of subs so i wouldnt know what to really recomend besides what these guys here have recomended i've only heard a pair of L7's, JL's and some Rockford Fosgates all dont sound that good the L7's had good SPL tho i have to admit that lol every one knows his name when he starts to come |
New member Username: Asher1448TN USA Post Number: 10 Registered: Dec-05 | well based on what i have i guess you can use that in reference to how much im willing to spend.. i dont have like a set amt of money that im willing to spend though im just looking for quality! |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4256 Registered: Jul-05 | what i would suggest 4 now is 2 hook up ur system with what u already bought & run ur stock speakers off ur deck & see if u like it - if its not enough then u need 2 upgrade them ....... |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1493 Registered: Sep-04 | yeah i was reading this whole thread and while i was reading i was like wow when a guy registers there lie thanks for registering.. when its a girl its like jessica simpson walked into a bar and all the guys are trying to talk to her lmao. but ashley, your setup should be nice. it should sound good and probably fit or even more than fit the amount of bass you want. (i could be wrong though) just usually most girls dont like so much bass you cant breathe lol. but the only downfall i saw, which im suprised no one else said anything about it, was the 38hz tune to the box. you said you THINK. well id find out because that could be key to how good your setup will sound. with that sub a 32hz tune is probably more optimum for SQL. goodluck with your setup though let us know how you like it. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4274 Registered: Jul-05 | i had my suspicions cause her set up is a bit too precise not saying that females don't know jack . It seems fishy but @ the time we all gave 'her' the benfit of the doubt by welcoming a new member . If its really a girl , lets see if he does post back - if not , then we all been seriously had ! .... |
