Ok so right now my friend has an alpine type x 12" woofer. It is powered by a 1100 watt JBL amp. Well needless to say we are not happy with it. Ohhh it sounds clear but just not as loud as he is looking for. We just ordered him a Hifonics ZEUS-xx it will probably be pumping out around 1700 watts RMS. I am telling my friend to order a loaded BL. I am hoping this is quite an improvement, we were just wondering what everyone else would think about this setup compared to his old.

BL... by a lot.

The Type X is not a "get loud" subwoofer.

Thats good to hear ill try to get a vid of it when its all done.

Bl wins by 34.88 D-sp.

(Dopey-scale points)

Alpine who? Type xwhat? Bah! the BL will stomp it

I really liked my type-x. It sounded clean, and took a decent amount of power. VERY sexy looking sub from all angles. But next to the BL the quality of alpines flagship sub just isn't there. I like the one I had enough to put it in my wifes car, but the BL is much louder to the ear (drop in), and to me actually sounds a bit better. The 'jumpers' for coils of the type-x are a good way to make the alpine look great wiring wise as well, but once you get past asthetics the BL wins hands down.

Type X is sexy but the BL has more muscle. So I vote for the BL by just looking at it. But if you really want my opinion I would say the Q will win because I had one.

I really think the BL likes closer to ~2k watts, while the alpine just wasn't very happy after giving it 1k+
