Alpine type X

[Mannyb18b]

I can buy an Alpine type-x swx-1242D 12inch sub. I think this is the top of the line sub for Alpine, not sure though, 1000w rms, 3000w peak for $270.00 each. What do u guys think?

Yeah the type x is Alpines best. $270 each seems like a good price. They retail for about $450 each. Don't have experience with this sub but i love my 2 type s 10's. Alpine quality is really good

Would u recommend i put this sub in a ported or sealed enclosure? i know the sound depends on personal preferance, but do u know if Alpine recommends a certain enclosure for the type x?

Sorry i don't. You should get a paper with it saying what they recommend, depending on where you are getting it from. You can try using a search engine to find it. The alpine website is pretty vague. They say use sealed vented or bandpass, so whichever you prefer. Recommended sealed box volume is .75-2.0 cu. ft. Someone else in this forum might be able to help you more though.
