2 questions...
how are the alpine type r speakers compared to the eclipse source points? and does getting that same brand speakers that your reciever is benefit you at all?

 

I second that question. How are the Type R's? Also does anyone know if the 12's are 300watts per voice coil or 150? Also how come they rate it at 300Watts RMS and 1000 Peak, I usually see ratings like this on Sh*t*y brand speakers (Pyramid, Urban, etc). FILL US IN!!

 

I was about the get the Alpine Type-R, and its 150 per coil. But now i'm going to get the Power Mouse system from Bass Mechanic. 700 Watt Rms on 1 10" and 750 rms on a 12". Search for his name. He can also give you a great deal with amps.

 

I had 2 type R 12s in my trunk for about a week and was impressed with how they did. They are a very rigid sub, and hit pretty well for the price....I am not familiar with the eclipse subs you were talking about though so I couldn't compare...and having the same brand doesn't do affect anything but appearance....
