Man is living the dream. As a teen I used to drool over the Alpine Catalogue I got from my uncle, fantasising of getting a set of Type R’s and a V12 Amp. I don’t know how i found your channel, but I’m loving all the old subs.
My brother had a 12" type r (little newer than the 1 you have on this video 500wrms version)paired with the mrv500 amp in a pretty nice ported box. I loved it tbh. I had gotten a cerwin vega vmax with an ok prefab box and an alpine mrp500 amp. His was louder than mine. The alpine had the tight punchy bass while my vmax had the low wide bass. Liked both the systems
Got a type r12 v1 it slammmms got 1 in a ported box but needs the surround reglued, thankfully I caught it so it didn’t blow. Wanna get another and make a nice box for them or I could baffle them in the trunk. Beautiful sub V1 is simple but effective. P.s. I don’t like the rolled surround anyway is it comparably better or worse?
I use the SWR-1522D 4.6cu ft box tunes to 28.5hz powered by A Crest Audio ST1000 1300 Watts 4ohms its better cleaner hits lower then a Pro sub, type R ftw cleanest sound subwoofer

You definitely deserve more subscribers...
Glad i found this channel. Dude is very charismatic.
I've had the Type R 15s with HAMR Surround, they were incredible
Though in the right box, mine was sealed, my 12s of the same era did a similar job

I believe the V1 type R was released somewhere in 99 or 2000.
Love the v2s i have a 10in dual 2 ohm one they go for 300 used on ebay and stuff ill never sell it they are solid subs
Springfield speaker works used to make a recone kit avaliable on ebay i used to recone these

I have a v2 12" in my games room, run by a pioneer 8701, sealed box, sounds decent
Do the Type X sub comparison next
I've heard the v2s in a prefab and in a custom box they slapped in the custom box
I just had a type r that stopped. No smell, no coil run, no ohm. Going to attempt at taking it apart. Don't know where to buy parts yet though
I can help direct you on the parts. Which particular model is it? The new new ones have a 2.5” coil
Directronix website ...hopefully they got the parts

I hope you use better glue than alpine did. They peel easier than painters tape
It really did lol. I use lord of bass glue, it seems good.
@@Bangbro4000 e600, 2 part epoxy, and CA glue will get you a long way too.
Do those head phones ever get hot?
Iv had a sleww of r 10s and 12s lol they do ok but never seem to last but i haven't banged a 15r yet
There hard too find lol
Would be nice to see more of the products your showing, instead of you talking.
Who has a recone kit for a type r 10?
They all suck can't even handle a Phenix gold 900x1 week
