Do you participate in comps? Or just roll down the residential streets trying to pick up 14 yr old girls?
;)

no and no
You didn't answer the question about picking up 14 year old girls.
So I will take your omission as a confession.

The first no was for the first question. The second no was for the second question. You only asked me two questions. :confused:
Oops, I misworded the first sentence.

What would be a nice amp to push these subs? These subs are running in 2 ohms.

"Nominal" and "max" are just retarded. At least call it "RMS" and "max program".

EDIT: Actually, it is specified that way. And you wasted your money if you aren't competing.

Please don't buy alpine. They make solid HU but that is where it ends. I have one w7 that will hit harder and cleaner than 10 of those subs.

I really really doubt that. There is nothing wrong with alpine. Just a lot of JL fanbois who like to spend too much money. For the price you cannot go wrong with Type Rs.

i'll go hide in the corner now since i'm sure i'll be flamed to death :(

Just because you think Alpine is overpriced doesn't mean that you like JL Audio, either.

Huh? I never said Alpine is overpriced, nor that I dont like JL. I actually think JL is good, but not worth the money.

So you're saying that people who don't like Alpine are JL fanbois who like to spend too much money.

When soemone says one JL sub will hit harder than 10 Alpine subs... than yeah actually I am. Of course there are exceptions, but many people just like JL because they are told they are good and they cost a lot. They dont do any research, or go out and actually listen to anything. I've been reading forums and going to stores for the last 6 months after i purchased my car looking at subs till i have the money saved up to buy one. This is actually the first time anyone has had something bad to say about alpine. The W7 is definately better than a type R, but it also costs at least four times as much. I can get a Type R off of ebay for around $50, or new for $115. To me the choice is easy.

I'll stop. I simply can't make sense of what you're trying to say.

Its called sarcasm. Of course it won't hit harder than 10 subs...the point is you will get what you pay for. Trying to convince us that Alpine produces a quality sound is strenching it. Have you even seen and heard a W7. Not only does it produce a quality bass it pushes with hardly any room. There are plently of other choices out there that perform just as well and Alpine is not one of them.
