Depending on what Eclipse subs but on average eclipse is better than Alpine. Even Alpine Type R.

It's each to his own on what is better, I prefer Eclipse over Alpine, in fact I persoanlly think Alpine is totally overrated. They used to be good but now days they are more into gimics than sound quality.

Hey then again I would get a Focal Utopia Sub

I have a full Alpine system in my magna. I know that alpine is priced a bit more than Pioneer and Sony etc but I think it sounds a lot better than them.

That wasn't supposed to sound like i was bagging Alpine, they are definately better than Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood etc etc, but I personally think once you hit the money Alpine charges for their gear there is a lot better sounding stuff out there for the same money. Just personal opinion though.

23 inch subs ??? Only keep the alpines cause they arent a ridiculous size. Otherwise Id get the Eclipses over the Type S Alpines, maybe even over the Type R's.

Just remember that you need a lot of power to move 2x23 inch subs!

The bigger the speaker the more electricity the coil has to generate to get it to move, hence the double magnets and bigger coils.

23" holy bajebus! lol

I personally thing 23" would be ridiculous...but hey the choice is up to you :)

Seen a guy with 2x 21inch fusion subs in the boot of a corolla :lol: he got 145-147db no problem from the sheer size of the subs, however sound quality on dance tracks and bass guitars sounded crap. Subs that size are only good for extension and slowish bass tracks, however if you want something to really show off with then yeah get the eclipse. To fit them you will prob have to have at 45 degree angles coming out of a shared box with either the cone or the magnet facing the top of the boot ( depends if you invert them or not ) kind like booya's set up but you will have to remove the spare tire in order to make a huge box of 100+ litres. The cones will probably almost touch the pascel shelf :shock: Good luck dude.
