Got few questions: 2x Alpine single coil 10's or a duel coil Alpine 12? Does the duel coil make much difference in a sub? How much power should I consider running through them for a good balance of SPL/SQ?
Sorry to be such a noob, but ALL the car stereo shops in my town are dodgy as hell and talk so much crap!
Thanks

Dual voice coil offers more wiring options, doesn't have much effect on the sub. As for power, it all depends on what sub and amp that you are going with. What type of sub or subs are they Alpine S, R, X and what do you have in mind for an amp? Give us a little more info and we can help you out.

WEll, Prolly Type R's and I'm not sure what kind of amp - thinking of a 800w RMS mono block made from a mob called Jaycar in Australia. Thier other amps have won awards in most of the car/car audio mags around here - and most of them are severly underrated. I think I might need 2 type R's for that amp though so that why im asking

So your from Australia? ANyway, Type R's are a grea choice, never heard of the amp, but if you say they have won awards, then they must be good. Then again Audiobahn has done the same but we all know about them. Which Type r's are you wanting to get the newer models or older?
