    Default subs?

    i'd go Alpine R type and PDX series amp if you can afford it, if not alpine s type with a V series amp.

    I've got the two 12'' Alpine type S's in a twin factory box, with matching mono block, Alpine 'V' power amp, and it just destroys the bootlid, compared to my old kenwoods, these crap all over them, for bang for buck, I don't think you can go past them...

    You would benifet from getting 12" subs. For Heavy Rnb 15" subs are best for the deep bass , and for techno 10" subs are small and fast
    So yeh 12" subs is a mixture between the two

    You can wire the subs together to create one circuit, in doing so you change the impedance of the circuit though.
    Check out my VP right 'ere!

    I used to have the single 12" Alpine Type R in it's Alpine box running of a V12? amp .... not sure nymore hehe.... was decent. Wanted an upgrade tho. Depends how much you like your bass. My gf would be fine with that I'd say ... she not really a fan of loud music. But she's getting my Hifonic 2412 sub on weekend... can't wait to hear my old baby in her car (my car has stupid gas tank etc in boot).
    Deck: Alpine 9887
    Speakers: Hertz HSK165 XL
    Amps: Audison SRx2, SRx4 & Alpine M350
    Subs: 2x Alpine 10" Type S

    That depends what subs and amp they are and whether or not they actually are that powerful

    Yeah i'd like to see a link for specs on this gear. I only know a few 6kw (rms) amps and dont think theres many 3kw (rms) subs getting around......they sound like "max" or "pmpo" figures?

    best news mate, twin subs only waste twice as much money.

    There is no gain (well very marginal) from SPL or quality!

    So again, why twin? why not just one good one?
