if u goin ported, go for the TYPE R, goin sealed, go for the SE

I have mine sealed and love the sound of them. But I am thinking about building a ported box this spring.

its close...but I have to give the edge to the SE for SQL

sealed...I would go Type R (SPL greater than SE sealed)

ported...definitely go for the SE (for SQL)

SE edges the Type R in SPL (ported) by a very small margin

well i listen to rap/r&b and other stuff....and i'm throwing my se 12's in a bandpass box..so i know i will be loud and sound good ....i think u should do the same if u get either a se or type r

thanks so much for ur guys opinons and input. im def a ported fan n from what it sounds lik SE would be the better choice (which is where i was leaning anyways)

umm quick question though...how much is a 12'' SE

are u series? have u even had experince with either sub? cuz the last statement u made is off the wall. u kinda said everything backwards. i would neva recommend a R seald,the SE is so much better for that application. the SE sounds awesome sealed, but portedm the R wins hands down. SPL=SE? i dont think so.

Sorry, but that couldn't be more wrong...

Sealed: DEFINITELY the SE

Ported: type-r will KILL the SE in terms of output (what kind of power are we looking at?)

SE will edge the type-r in SQ in either situation, but there's no way the SE will win in SPL.

This is coming from a person who has OWNED BOTH SUBS. How about you?

Interesting debate. I just ordered an SE and the dealer builds custom ported boxes just for them and they are his best selling sub!! And I repeat...SE....ported....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif *I* will be running it sealed, however:crazy:

the amp is an alpine MRD-M605, so itll be 600 watts

I'd recommend the SE in that case.

 

[SBLAZER]

that eunff power to get the R goin, u dont need an whole lot. i wouldnt recommend more than 700w for it, to someone who isnt experinced. u gotta kno wha ya doin to run a sub 3x times its rms
