10" skar vvx vs 12" type r

Which would be louder and have better sound quality? I have a 2 cubic foot box tuned to around 33hz and have a friend willing to sell his skar cheap so was wondering which one you guys would think would have more sq and or spl. Thanks!

given the air space, the skars should get louder.

Alright cool! Im used to 12 inch subwoofers (type r, type s, and an l7) do you think ill like this? I know skar is a very nice sub compared to the others! Thanks!

In all honesty, a 12in Type R in an optimal box will be louder the a skar 10 for 2 reasons; cone area and the R having a slightly better spl output ratio then a Skar on the SAME power input...that said, the skar will sound quite a bit better, especially on the low end and below tuning

Alright cool! Yeah I loved the L7 when it came to hard hitting songs but when it came to rock and anything with drums I was disappointed. Thanks for your input!

......... uhm..... those skars will pretty much outshine a type r in everyway.

no offense to what that guy said, but all the numbers point to that.

take your left arm, extend it parallel with your chest, make a blade out of your hand, and point your hand forward. Likewise, take your right arm, extend it parallel to your chest, make a blade out of your and, and point your hand forward.

... that much

it would probably be an audible difference, and the Type R's aren't too bad on face paced stuff. Those L7s tend to get pretty muddy though so anything will be an upgrade.

he meant they would be extremely close, if not the same-ish.

older version type r's were the best budget sub out there....they're proven to get loud and take a beating

don't know about the newer one's
