Hi, i bought a 10" custom box for s2k that fits the s2k. so i have to get a 10" sub. I don't want it to shake the ground of anything. i just want to be able to hear from som distance? i was thinking about 10" alpine type R......anything else you guys would recommend? i am going to be running through a CLARION PROAUDIO APA1200 MONO SUB AMP.

i always tend to ask stupid questions on electronic forums and i feel dumb.....haha cuz i AM dumb in stereo systems please bare with me
let me know
thanks,
John.

 

oh BTW, the specs on the amp is.....: Continuous Average Power Output (RMS): 200 watts x 1 into 4 ohms, 20 Hz to 20 KHz at 0.04% THD. 300 watts x 1 into 2-ohm (typical). Dimensions: 13 x 3 x 12.

 

Type R will serve you well. Its a nice sub, and hits cleanly. I had one before my Alphasonik, and loved it.

 

well do you think this amp can push type R?

 

I have a 10" type R in the tool well of my trunk, and love it! Best price I have found is at etronics.com. I have ordered 3X from them, and no problems. The amp you have should be plenty of power to drive the Alpine!

 

is one 10" type R loud enough for a s2k? will i be heard from a distance? oh, also what amp wiring kit should i get?

 

One 10" type R is plenty loud enough for the S, and provides plenty of tight bass that the stock system lacks.

However, if all your interested in is being heard from a distance, you can just get a cheap 12" sub and an inexpensive high power amp and annoy everyone around you at the expense of denying yourself a true audio experience. Too many people are more concerned about the volume of the music than the quality of the music these days. That's just my .02 cents worth, and I'm probably dating myself with such a comment!

 

no, i was just wondering if it WILL be heard from outside...like the topic said, i do not want to Shake the ground and make it loud as hell. but just heard when pumped up. i know you are not trying to argue with me and you just hate ricers hehe. i feel ya. im not a ricer don't worry. and like above said, i donno nothing about audios hehe. please bare with me bro.
what ground wiring kit should i get for this amp? help me out? my last concern is that if a 10" type R would fit my custom box i bought. here's the link to the custom sub box i bought. he said he put 10" JL 10 W3 with no problem....then no problem either with alpine type R? help me out guys.
The sub box pics and specs
thanks guys
John.

 

Volume of the box described is correct for a 10" Type R Sub, and from the pics, it appears there is enough depth. The Type R is deeper than many 10" subs, and will require 6 or 6.5" of depth.

Good luck with your decision, I think you'll be very happy with the Type R if that's the route you choose.

Sorry if my previous post was a little harsh, I'm just easily annoyed by people who want to make sure that I hear their obnoxiously distored bass :-)

 

haha i feel you bro. okay so you think i should go head and order the type R ? you sure the box has enough room?depth i mean.... man im trusting you! hehe
