If you enjoyed he RE's........ The type R's will be like a 3way with super models that were stuck in prison for a few years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, this is hilarious... I have owned both, and in no way would I take the Type Rs over the RE SEs... The SEs were great subs, and sound a ton cleaner than the Type Rs.

You're talking about the 2011 Type R version, right?

Yes I am... I have owned both... The Type Rs can get louder, and are for sure one of the best bangs for the buck, especially the 8s! But I will take a pair of RE Audio SE all day over them. And I am talking about the SE, not the SE X.
The Type Rs arent very clean sounder woofers.

WOW! certainly each to there own! I had the re's before too (several different models) and I wouldnt piss on them if they were on fire! Especially the 8s! I had the complete opposite experience with SQ between the two (probably some of the cleanest woofers I have used in the price point a even a great deal higher!)
Certainly not saying yours didnt sound good or anything like that! Just funny how different two people can experience the same things?

Which ones did you have, if you dont mind me asking... I mean the XXX is clearly in another league, but is one of, if not the greatest SQL sub made...
But yea, thats funny. Install always matters and the vehicle.

I had several of the older lines..... Se, etc...... Including the GREATXXX! Now that truly was great sub no matter how you slice it!!
I just felt the 8" se in particular left me extremely lacking.... In fact when asked how I rate a variety of the 8s over the years its always at the bottom for me.
But sound is %100 subjective (despite all the # crunchers) and this is exhibit A. Again, its just my opinion and thats all. I am certainly not saying someone cant possibly feel the opposite or shouldnt! I have no doubt that your experience of the sub was stellar!
I suppose thats why there more then one version of any size sub, speaker, amp, etc... on the market?

As I recall, we were talking about the 10s, I never heard the 8s
I do understand, though, that this is a thread about the 8s. I am very curious to hear these Type R 8s. Maybe I should run 3 of them. Hmmm... And yes you are right. I kind of get mad when certain subs arent offered in a variety of sizes :/

OH! My bad! I was thinking we were talking 8s vs 8s...... Totally different ball game!!!!
I dont come around much anymore....must have lost my ability to read at the same time

Your fine... Like I said, I see this is a thread about the 8s... I never even knew RE made SE 8s... Or did they?
You got me curious to hear these Alpine 8s tho...

Cast Frame, Segmented High-Strength Magnets, Full Length Shorting Sleeve, Super Tight Gap, Kevlar Cone. HAMR Surround Spiral Cut Al Former. Rediculous SQ, Impressive SPL.
Can't really see what more we could do to turn it into a Type X, performance-wise. If you want, I can ship you a spare dust cap with the X Logo on it
I'm kidding with you. I'd love to do a Type X 8 ... Would be fun to battle with the Sundownz of the world but unfortunately thats not where we targeted with our first 8 in some time. Based on the success of this guy, who knows what you'll see in the future though.
On the other end of the spectrum, wait till you get your hands on the new Type S 10s 12s & 15s that we just released at CES If these 8s were "game over", then the new S are "game changers" :-)
Always cool to have more awesome 8s on the market !
Sorry for the thread jack... witch of this 2 subs its better all around the alpine type r 10 or the JBL power Series P1024 powered by an alpine mrp500 ?

Both have managed to have stout reputations in their price bracket. Install-specific readings and auditioning would be your most useful resources.
what will be better choice jbls gto 8 or the alpine type r 8?
If price is not a big deal then the Alpine. If you want to keep the costing down-- go JBL. Great sub that out performs the money spent.

Absolutely the Alpine! BUT, for $100 you could get two ID8s from the classifieds...... That would be my first choice with $100 A pair of them ported would be nice! If your running over 200w a sub then the Alpines will give and give with more and more power!
There really are a ton of great 8s at a lot of price points for a lot of situations now a days!
I just finished by new setup this weekend, using 1 swr-843D, and wow! Ported enclosure at .7ft^3, and I can't believe what this little sub will do. By far the best $90 I've spent in a while.
