personaly if i had the cash i would run alpine subs jl amps and mb mids and highs, but as of know sense i work at best buy alpine is giving us **** dirt cheap. alpine type-r 10s-75 bucks alpine type-r componets 100 6x9s 65 the ivd-a310 820 the v-12 4 channle amp 300 and rockfurd is giving us cheaper ther punch 8002 is goinig to cost me 185 and i am going to buy 2. so if i weigh all the pros and cons and cost. alpine is my choice. and once i can afford them i will be getting memphis amps to run my subs.

 

Alpine type Rs u can get a speaker the exact same made by a company called Quest there like 60$ US..... Bestbuy is carrying Alpine stuff? really....... is that the same in Canada that they are carrying it?.... I'll give u the credit on the JBL amps i'm running them myself but honetly i hear so much negative feed back on alpines

 

i have not heard much babd about them at all there subs are very clean sounding, the ampos are some the the mose effecient and very good on watts per dollar

 

With more cash I'd run JL subs and amps.

 

ya but i really like the type-X's and you dont get 1000 watts out of a 10 w7. mabey some kickers. 2500 watts out of the solo x tens

 

#1 wattage isn't everything #2 a 10w7 can handle 1000watts...They've been used in SPL competitions at 1000 watts per sub. JL's high end models handle a lot more wattage than they rate them at.

Taken from Car Audio Magazines 10w7-3 Test Report:

To power the JL Audio 10W7-3 subwoofer, I installed my custom-built Zapco Competition C2K-6.0X amplifier. "Yeah Baby" (with Austin Powers accent), I'm talking about the one that's been "Peak'd'n Tweek'd", on which I used the built-in crossover. The 10W7-3 has a single 3-ohm voice coil, and the Zapco C2K-6.0X normally makes a hefty 600 watts mono into this load. But mine kicks out a shattering 1200 watts mono. (All you have to do is play with the rail voltage -- call Zapco for the insider's info!)

 

See if ur gonna run w7's and like all JL amps u need to get the right deck take example Eclipse 8 volt preout aswell u need to be running top end quality fronts and/or rears..... or else ur car will sound too bassy and distorted.... i have over 6000$ in my stereo

 

well, W7's arent bad but for the money they make great cereal bowls and door stops!

 

I mean W7s and all the subs are good but if u want good quality made i mean the only Company that makes dual stitched cones are actually MTX there pretty f&$^ing Loud..... everyone else glues there subs
