Alpine Type R Or Type X ?

[Nickzke]

Heyy guys, just wondering if i should get the alpine type R or type X sound system, i was planning type R but for an extra $1,300 i can get the type x system. Has anyone heard any of these and can help me decide is it worth getin type x? because i dont want to buy the type R and then regret not buying x instead.

Type R Sound system :$1,499

Type X Sound system :$2,799

Thanks,

Nick

for that much, neither..lol

but type X if you must , they make a few models of type X so it depends on what you want for sound in the end.

Really depends on if you want really loud, or loud with sound quality.

I went with alpine type x splits at the front (paper cones), type r rears

Alpine double din touchscreen

fibre optic cable to alpine sound processor in boot (no RCA leads from headunit to amps)

PDX amps, mono block and 4 channel

slimline 12inch sub

can i have really loud with sound quality?

i heard type r is louder than type x, but type x is better quality. true?

[Neuroglider]

i've been shown the way...

if you can afford type-x

go focal

[Carbon 34]

there are much better options in that price range, unless your Alpine only loyal

you can have extremely loud and clean , depends on the quality of the install a lot

New X-Type's are shit, you need to find the SPX-177R model. VERY VERY VERY HARD to come by, I eventually found a set for GTRsean for $400 brand new.

Just have to sit and wait sometimes.

x all day man, ive got type x pro splits front and rear in my 32 so loud and so clear

If you were in brisbane i would recommend the stuff Chris sells. Rainbow audio speakers i don't even have the upper spec versions (also no amp) and everyone that gets in my car is really impressed with the sound

[Beer Baron]

well everyone is biased towards certain brands but for nice clean SQ at that price range I'd be looking at boston accoustics. they do some great splits that give very nice SQ and can still get loud.

Thanks ill check it out, im not looking at just alpine, but i had alpine in mind coz my mates got type r and its pretty good for $2,000, didnt realise theres better out there in the same price range.

Infinity Kappa perfect series is nice. Alpine is over priced, if i were you i would wait til one of the dealers has a sale or just go with another brand all together.

Type R sub and amp is ok, its what i have and it does the job nicely and it only cost me $800 new. Speaker wise unless you get type x your wasting your money (on type R) because there are other brands out there that will produce the same sound for less.
