how do you know it is blown,

the type s series subs had horrible structure, thats why i would have either gone with the r or e (money savor)

ebpda9 · 04-26-2005, 12:08 AM

CD5Passion · 04-26-2005, 01:04 AM

type s's blow all the time, I work at circuit city so I see these come back..or at least used to since we stopped selling alpine and switched to kicker, eclipse, and clarion

ShEaNy · 04-26-2005, 01:49 PM

my friends alpine type r blew too, alpine subs are not that good

AkimboStylee · 04-26-2005, 11:21 PM

it is all in how you take care of your system, and heat is a major factor with alpine subs

ShEaNy · 04-27-2005, 11:53 AM

well thats good..cause i live in winnipeg...where right now its like only plus 3 out...the guy at Advance told me they test the Type S's at minus 30 or something...

AkimboStylee · 04-28-2005, 10:06 PM

well also alot of heat is built up on the magnet, and can cuase the glue to disrupt which in turn is a blown speaker

ShEaNy · 04-29-2005, 02:08 PM

Well problem solved..i switched to the new poineer sub.... 1000 Watts 12 inch....JUST CRAZY this thing poundssss i love it allrdy..

AkimboStylee · 06-23-2005, 02:31 AM

I know you like your new subs, but if you want to with the blue theme, look into the the new L7's, plus they hit hard!!!

ShEaNy · 06-24-2005, 12:15 PM
