I need help deciding on subwoofers, I NEED THUMP IN MY TRUNK Options

[chrisbf429]

So i've got two basic choices for my subwoofers! Either i get ONE alpine type R 12 inch sub that goes for about $100 or i get 2 Kenwood 12" subs for $45 bucks each. What should i do??? Any other ideas? my budget is around $100 for the subs so try to keep it in that range... Thank you!

BTW Alpine is garbage.

And for the guy who says alpine is garbage there's something seriously wrong with you. With my setup I have ( the box makes it sound this good ) it hits harder than anyone I know with diamonds or kenwoods. You get what you pay for why else would the Type R cost 250 new ? It's one of the most expensive you can buy at a audio store or best buy.

Personal taste really. I don`t like the sounds of Alpine Type R's at all. Way too sloppy. Yes they have big boom, but that doesn`t mean it has clean sound.
Loud does not equal quality. $250 is not an expensive subwoofer by any means. I carry about 10 subwoofers in store that are at least double the $$ and double the quality. Never buy an audio system at Best Buy


In all truth, if you want something that has both REAL quality and big boom to it, look at the JLW6 subwoofer. Its going to blow your budget out of the water however. You guys need a real demo for music to hear what quality sound is. I don`t even think I should post up my system to show what real SQ is like.

Alpine does a great job at marketing their products. Thats why people believe they are good. The company I work for in Chicago will not install Alpine any more. Their products failed on a $500,000 yacht and made us look bad when the customer wanted the garbage. Plus the components we installed didnt even sound near as good as the infinitys we normally install. I agree with you TeamFaint that alpine is sloppy. Almost as bad as rockford fosgate. JLs are nice, but are way too expensive. Diamond Audio d6 would blow a w6 out of the water for price and performance. A Diamond Audio Hex pro sub would dominate a JL w7 and its $300 cheaper. And yes I do agree that people need to see in person what a high quality system sounds like and dont buy your stuff from best buy. Their installers arent even qualified to work on alot of cars.
