hey, i was wondeirng if you could tell me how much i could get a 12" alpine type R DVC sub for.
thanks

 

I can special order it from Alpine for $150.00 takes about 3-5 weeks since we don't normally carry Alpine Type-R subs. Pickup and payment would be available at any Tweeter or HIFI Buys store near you.

Subs I do carry are JL Audio W0,W3 & W7, Eclipse Aluminum subs, Xtant A, X, and Z series subs, Kenwood subs, Alpine Type-S subs.

Dave

 

any suggestions for a 12" sub around $150 (no more than $150) to be powered by a jbl bp600.1?

 

12W3 $159.00

 

hey dave,

why dont you normally carry infinity?
also, your the manager(owner?) of the stereo shop right? what was it called again?
can you order infinity parts or would it not be worth while?
thanks

We have decided not to carry Infinity (Circuit City carries it)not my choice

I'm the store Manager

Name of the company is called Tweeter www.tweeter.com

Dave

 

ah, thats where i heard the store from before.
so can you special order then or not worth it?
thanks for the quick response.

oh hey, my friend will be looking for a new headunit soon, i think you carry alpine because ive seen other people ask about them. ill PM you when hes getting closer to buying. what do you think about the V-Drive?

also im in the market for a pioneer headunit. what do you think? the one i have right now is a piece of ****. what head unit would you recommend, maybe list a few. i want to have more control and good sound quality.

thanks
MrGone

 

hmm..sounds good..sealed or ported?

 

That is a raw sub. A custom enclosure is recommended for sq

I don't carry Pioneer. Head units I recommend either Alpine or Eclipse.

V-Drive amps by Alpine are good, but mainly made for a price point.

Dave

 

you reply tooo fast, ill talk with you later, im gonna be late for work.

Hey Dave, I checked out your company's website. I'm planning to put together a pretty massive home theater system in the very near future. I've got someone designing it, and I'll have their recommendations soon. What kind of deals would you be able to hook up for home theater stuff?

 

ok...

 

i'd be building the enclosure...but i'd need to know what size enclosure, along with sealed or ported.

PM me makes and models and I'll take care of you.

etronics has the Alpine Type R 1241-DVC for $114.99. I bought mine from them. Cost $128 shipped

 

well now i'm in a bind...which sub to get? i dont mind paying the extra for the 12w3, but is it worth it over the alpine? the enclosure is not an issue as i'd be building the recommended type/size.

 

etronics is NOT an authorized dealer for Alpine. So when something goes wrong with your sub, nobody will fix it for free. Buy from an authorized dealer.

JL Audio is known in the industry of making high end subs, Alpine is not. They are known for their cd players. Stick with JL.

 

Hey Maxima Dave..i have never understood how that works. if certain shops aren't authorized dealers, then how come they are allowed to sell them? and where do they get the products?
thanks

 

Something like this...

One dealer will get some Alpine gear say from an authorized dealer at say 10-20 points(margin), he will turn around and resell the merchandise for alot cheaper than anyone else in town since he is not an authorized dealer. Non-authorized dealers on line do the same thing. They do this so everyone makes money, including the vendor. The only person it hurts is the consumer.

Dave

 

sounds good..now what do i need to do to "buy" from you through my local tweeter? i'm going with the JL12w3-D4

 

I know the W3s can handle some power but wouldn't you be better off getting a D-2 and giving it 300 watts?

 

$159.00 ea.

If you run only 1 W3, make it a 12W3D2 so that you can run your amp at a 4 ohm load. If you run 2 of them, use the 12W3D4.

 

why wouldnt i get a D4 and turn the gains down?
also, what do i do? just tell you i want the sub and goto my local tweeter and pick it up?

 

His amp isn't stable that low to run a dvc 4-ohm

 

havent had problems with my previous sub (cv-v 12d4)......

 

so dave, how do i buy the sub at your price?
JL12w3-D4

 

PM me when you are ready. You'll have to pay and pick up the sub at the Warwick store in RI.
