will this setup sound nice

[Syn48]

hey all i am looking at this setup for an 01 eclipse please let me know if this system should sound nice. two 10'' type r alpine subs with a 400 watt rockford amp and an alpine head unit. since i have a small car i think this would probably be enough for what i am looking to do what do you think.

ummm ... you didn't list any mids or tweets - without them, it will sound very bad

i'm guessing he's using his stock speakers. but those subs are very nice, and maybe look into a more powerful amp. alpine makes great headunits so your good there. i'd recomend replacing the stock speakers also.

well since you're going for type R's even 400rms won't do

try anywhere between 500-800rms for those 2 subs

im running about 400 to my 12

thanks for the help i will look into a bigger amp and sometime in the future i do plan to replace the stock speaks.

my friend has a pair of type r 10's, and he's giving them a total of about 400watts, maybe alittle less, but when they are in his custom ported box, that me and a friend made for him, i think any more power could seriously damage them, but if you are going sealed, then look inot a bigger amp.

How much are you paying for all of this stuff?

[Syn48]

$625 at the most, my cousin is the manager of a long radio so hes helping me out

you could do a little better for the 600 dollar range. Get a pioneer (the first one w/ the oel i think its the 6400) or panasonic cq-c8100u for the head unit.....shouldn't be any more then 200 on ebay. For your subs get an re SE 15(200ish) and a hifonics brutus bx1500d(240ish shipped off ebay)
