Default Anyone have a 10" Alpine Type R ?

I was just wondering if anyone has or knows if you can fit an Alpine Type R 10" into the little driver-side cubby hole box. I've heard that Type R's do well in small spaces. Some say it can fit, others say it can't, so I don't know who to believe. I blew my Rockford Fosgate 10" P2 and i'm thinkin of putting this Alpine in, just because I've had good experiences with Alpine in the past.

I have one in there with a subthump stealth box. It'll fit fine.

I've got one in my car now and it sounds fantastic. The Type R's love small spaces like that and do very well in that spot.

I've heard that Alpine re-designed the Type R's for 2005. Does anyone know if it will still fit or if the dimensions of the speaker have changed?

TTT...would also like to know if anyone knows. Would the newer Alpine type R fit fine in a stealthbox?

Why do you think they wouldnt?
Your best bet is to contact the makers of the stealth box and find out.
The new sub dementions are not listed on the mfgs web site.

hey ive have been looking at getting the stealth box and they new type r. Just wanna know what everyone thinks how it performs in that small space comapred to having a box that hold 2 12's in the t-top space? I could always get a passenger box and then have 2 10's and still have the space in the middle.
