Default ALPINE set up

Just bought a 10" pioneer sub and borrowed my buddy's amp and rocked the hell
out of the little thing and blew it up whiten the first 24hrs of my buying it (didn't really know jack **** about ohm's and rms untell four days ago) so i decide to drop some real cash into my ride...

I bought 2 12" ALPINE sub 250watts rms/750watts peak $179.99 for pair
and a ALPINE mono 2ohm 500watts rms amp $259.99
and for the box it's a TransAm Q-Logic 12" custom sub box $279.99

Soon i want to change out all the factory speakers too alpine think it would look and sound pretty sick

Your set up is gonna sound and look SWEET.
I have Alpine SPR-60C components in the doors and Alpine Type S Coxials in the sails and it sounds great running off a small Rockford Fosgate amp.

No, I didn't have the monsoon system in my camaro.
In my Convertible I only have space for 4 speakers (doors & rear sails).

Which mini subs are you reffering to? The Sail panels?

So is the general consensus that Alpine Type-R stuff is really good stuff?

It's good for the price.
Type X is superior however.
And there is stuff better than Type X. Depends how much you want to spend.

What alpine 12" subwoofers did you get? I find it hard to believe there rated at only 250 each. I know some are rated at 250 per coil meaning it would actually be 500rms for a dual coil subwoofer cause my single dual coil Alpine type R 12" is being pushed by a 500rms alpine amp

Your probably right they probably are Type e's. He may have accidently put each instead of 179.99 for the pair. He will reply eventually tho. Just trying to make sure he isn't under powering cause the price 179.99 each sounds like a higher end sub but may be a typo.
