The new Type R handles 500 RMS each, if your looking for two subs thats not going to do it for you. You need more power for two of them. They cost around $200 each as well so your $300 budget has gone up before knew it. What brands do you have in mind already?

???? Mass Production speaker???? AH YA DUDE, go play with your legos. Are you looking at the 2005 Type R? These are more like in the middle of a JL W3v2- W6v2 the power handling is 500 RMS for each one. They have taken alot for the Type X and put into the Type R for 2005. If what you have...

That ported box takes alot more space than a sealed box will. When you bought it they should have explained all this to you. I have 2 JL12W3V2 in a sealed box in a SUV, Sealed because I didn't want to give up my cargo space. A single 12W3V2 in a ported box will be louder and have more boom to...

Why bother getting anything since you live in such a bad area. Come on really people will steal anything given a chance. What differance does it make what brand of sub you have. If it sounds good and you like to let everyone know it sounds good then you had better park it in a garage. JL...

Check out http://www.cbrstereo.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=31CBR I have bought from them twice. Not a bad price, may not be the cheapest out there for thses speakers. $109 each is still pretty good considering they retailed for $200 each. I would buy again from CBRSTEREO.COM!!

NO, why bother with the 3 vs 1 12". Really why not just get two Type R 12" and be done with it? Unless your say POLECAT, then it's going to be why not just get two L7 12" and be done with it.

Alpine Type R are nice subs for the money. Just picked up two 2005 Type R 12", compared to the JL W6v2 but at a W3v2 price. I got a dual sealed custom box with subs for $408 brand new. The 2004 line is worth the money but if you can get ahold of some 05's go for it. The best deal I found on...

I never stated MTX owns Kicker, simply stated I would go with the MTX over the Kickers. Tid for Tat, both co have been around along time and to be honest I don't care about some comp thats not a true sound for me and mine. Like I said you can go about it some where else. You don't like my...

Well if the West Coast is such a huge portion of Kickers sales why is it only a few mom and pop shops carry kicker??? why is it every shop that I go to put down kicker and only deal with Kicker when someone brings something in they just bought off the net????? I'm sure you Kicker guys think...

Like I said, Kicker owners and those who work for kicker maybe where you live kicker's rule but not on the West Coast baby. Go cry some more :crying:

How about you read the directions? If you have been installing for years why wouldn't you know to use the same size wire for the ground as the power??? Now maybe next time you go to school you will pay attention long enough to learn to read and write. It really helps to understand what it...

I have heard both in a 12", a single L7 in a ported kicker box and get this a single MTX 7500 in MTX sledge hammer box also ported, in the same environment powered by the same amp a Hifonics Brutus. Played alot of different types of music, but always that MTX hit harder got louder and sounded...

I just installed a MTX 564 (4 ch) and the 801D (mono sub) amps and they look and sound great no alt whine as I had before with Profile amps. MTX are not cheap $$$$. They are simply less for the 2004 model than the 2005. The 2005 models are mucho $$$$$. I'm the kind of guy that likes to get...

how about taking it off

I was looking to do the same thing, one 12W6v2. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on an amp but I wanted something that wasn't a flee market brand either. I went with MTX, the Thunder 801D. Bought it from CarDomain.com with shipping for about $260. plenty of power and MTX isn't low...
