thanks for the input guys. Its just sad how a pair of old alpine type r xovers i had laying around seem to be built more solid. I really dont want to spend money on just a pair of xovers but I think i'm gonna give morel a try.

My driver side tweeter went out yesterday. i thought it was a wire that came loose so i opened up my door and took a look as well as in the trunk and nothing. so i did some trouble shooting an turns out my crossover is out. i just got a new pair of the ef series comps from woofersect.com which...

I just bought a 2x4 mdf 3/4ths at HD and it was like $9 something and 5/8ths for 7ish. I dont have a pick up and couldnt build a box cuz I didnt have a way of taking the big sheet of mdf home and now they started carrying the smaller boards which make it easy to build boxes not only because they...

I got the same package and I got the t-24 tweets which is what i belive came with yours too LBC99. I had the old version of the type-r's and the cdts were a great upgrade, like night and day. They can take more power like nothing and sound better imo at higher volumes. Very clear and smooth as...

looks huge. Cost? Cant wait till they have them on B-stock

Elemental Designs has thire shallow mount on sale right now for $70 with free sh I think.

Dose anyone know what the amp specs are on a 97 ford expedition with the eddie bauer or how ever you spell his name and mach III system are? I"ll tryed google and the manual and all i found out is that the sub is a 8" sub. Any one know how much the factory amp dose and at what ohms? it came with...

I'v got R's and havent had any problems running them at vol 22 off a my head unit being run by a mtx amp. Are your doors deadned? befor my mtx which is 100 x 2 wrms, i had my type r's running offa alpine amp which did 50 x2 wrms and I could run the amp and the comps up all they way all day and...

Umm try deadening your doors first. It makes a world of a difference. I'v got alpine type r's. threy are not all that greate comps to begin with, but after i deadnd my doors they didnt sound bad at all.

well a tweet shouldnt be playing low notes in the first place. thats probably what is wrong with the set up. maybe a bass blocker on the tweet would help from the low notes from getting to the tweet?

Let me know how it goes with the trouble shooting cuz i have the same problem with my alpine type r tweeter. its allways the right tweeter that sounds like its blown on some songs with certain high pitch notes, but sounds good with other songs that dont go as high. i have already replaced the...

I'v had 2 pairs for type-r's and thire spiders are really weak. they tend to blow realy easly and they are not very loud or else if they dont play too clean. as for the midd bass, thats the only thing i like about the type-r's. its really punchy well only on some songs. and the tweets are...

so are you looking for rear fill speakers? I listend to the type-x and infinity's side by side at the store and the type-x sounded pretty balanced and not bright like the infinity's. The type-x have pretty good mid bass and warm sounding silk tweets. But if rear fill is what you are looking for...

I sounddeadend my doors and made sure to seal off the door so that no air would leak and they still blewout. I'm not buying any more alpine comps any more, but for the $150 that I paid for my pair I cant complain cuz they did sound ok for my first set of comps:crazy:

no, I dont set my comps that low on the freq responce, but that what the spec say on the box that they can reproduce 30Hz-35KHz. and my gain is not turned all the way up. the spider just seems to be weakly held together.
