what is better....single or dual voice coil?

i've had those IMPP's before and they were good! i love the way they sounded. whats wrong with them?

those type e's will do you just fine and at buy one get one it's a bargain!!!

alrite kewl. good enough, i want some bass well a good amount but not for a lot of money, and i thought its alpine, pretty much all alpine is good! and its a hell of a bargain!

Their decks are good....I don't know much about their components though....I think the best components I've heard was boston accoustics.

alrite thanks guys!!! ill look into it more now!

If you want afordable check out Adire Shiva's....

i know alot of people just wanting a little kick are happy with the IMPP's... if your not doing this to impress people then it should be all personal pref.

You probably already dropped the cash, but you know how the $.02 game goes...

Best advice here. Simply put, companies make different levels of equipment for different levels of user. Most brands do. Example: The fact that a Lexus SC430 is a seriously sweet car (my mother just bought one) does not necessarily make the Scion tC a complete joke - both have the Toyota name behind them. But there is a $45,000 price differential. It's the same with audio equipment.

Seriously though, two subs for $100 is hard to beat, it's an Alpine product, and you get customer service through Crutchfield. Focus some energy on putting those Type-E's in a proper enclosure, feed them right, and they will do you well for everyday music. There is nothing wrong with the Pioneer either but if it were my car I'd choose Alpine. Of course, that's my personal preference because I've owned Alpine and I liked it very much. If you liked your Pioneers, what's to stop you from a repeat purchase? Good luck... let us know how it turns out for ya!

kewl thanks Katfl0res, now my next question, i need a 1000watt amp. whats a good brand?? but not to much..

Are you sure you NEED 1000Watts? That's a lot of juice.

Post the specs of the subs you bought, how you listen to your music, and what your space constraints are for the box they are going in. Then, matching up an amp becomes easier than just pulling a rabbit out of the proverbial hat of 1000Watt amps.

Havent bought them yet. but here are the specs for speaker:
Kevlar®-treated pulp cone
3/4" Santoprene rubber surround
dual oversized Nomex® spiders
frequency response 26-1,000 Hz
power range 50-200 watts RMS
peak power handling 600 watts
sensitivity 89 dB
top-mount depth 6-3/16"
sealed box volume: 0.8-1.7 cubic feet
ported box volume: 1.25-2.0
1-year warranty

here are the specs for a box i may buy, crutchfield also recommended this box:
for two 12" subwoofers
1.75 cubic feet internal volume (per sub)
dimensions:
width: 31-7/8"
height: 16"
bottom depth: 19-3/8"
top depth: 14"
1-year warranty
how about even an 800watt 2 channel?? 400 to each?

Yea don't get the 1,000 watt... esp. with the E's

ok...what about Infinity Kappa Perfects?:

Magnesium Metal Matrix (M3D) cone
large-roll butyl-rubber surround
Variable Q
massive cast-aluminum basket
3" voice coil
suitable for free-air use (handles up to 200 watts in free-air mode)
recommended power range 75-400 watts RMS
peak power handling 1,600 watts
frequency response 23-400 Hz
sensitivity 89 dB
top mount depth 7"
sealed box volume 0.4-1.25 cu. ft.
ported box volume 1.75-3.00 cu. ft.
Recommended Q-Logic Box Type: 1, 2, 3
3-year warranty

what about orion?

i agree i think alpine has a decent product

alrite kewl! you've been a big help!! but dont go far, cuz i will need u again ;) thanks for the help!!! im still picking....

orion's are awesome subs regarless the model
but HCCA's are the best

Go with JL Audio and you won't be upgrading in 3 months. Get a 10-12 w3v2 and send it 300-400w RMS and it will blow those E's out of the water. Just my .02 Thomas

what if i got the KAPPA's, would 1000watts to each speaker be 2 much?!? or should i just get a 1000watt??

you'll blow them if you put a 1000w amp on each speaker. Their recommended power is 400w RMS max for each. Ttechnically a 1000w amp on two is already overpowering them.

oops

ok, see i always use to think to go by the peak power, im surprised i never blew my other 15's. the were peaked at 700watts. RMS was 350, and i had 600watts to each speaker! maybe they were blown...dunno sold that that system....im still thinkin on what to get! thanks for all the help you guys!

ALWAYS go by the RMS figure....it is best to underpower a speaker than to over power it

that is true Kris, it was a Kenwood dont member the model... but max was 600watts. owell.....

ok, it was probably roun 400watt RMS, i bridged them. i just something for bass! nuthin huge!

IMO a little overpowering is better then underpowering. If you run a 400W RMS amp on a 350W or so RMS sub, you're better off then say a 200-300W RMS amp. If you run a lower amp, then when you really turn up the volume you'll send your amp Clipping, which is what kills most drivers, not over powering them. Don't go too overboard, but an extra 10-25% is a good overhead.

Most drivers will take some extra watts, but clipping is bad news for ANY speaker.

Note... i'm not suggesting a 1200.1 JBL on a Dual from BB... :lol:

Ratings will be undercut on both sides, sub and amp, at comparable quality levels. Most speaker underratings aren't by much either. 90% of the time people aren't using their RMS level even.

Orions are severely under rated because of competition in the 90's. They would just call it a 200 watt amp so it could be in lower classes. 1 watt = 1 watt no matter what amplifier it comes out of....
