12" type r's or kicker cvr's?

[ktraughb 10+ year member]

im putting a new daily driver system in and want to know some recommendations. i have access to purchase two 12" type r's on an alpine 1000 watt amp...or two 12" cvr's on a kicker 750.1, both in a 3.5-4 cubic foot ported box, tuned around 35-40Hz. its been awhile since ive heard a type-r, and ive never heard the newer version of the cvr's, thoughts? of course want some good sound, and hopefully to get fairly loud.

well i was planning to get dual 2's of either one for the amps, both only stable at 2 ohms. i actually have easier access to the dual 2s. you dont think 500 rms each sub is enough?

and price is very close to same for both systems for me

then get the 2 cvrs just go a little easy on the gains as 500w is pushing it a little with the cvrs

1200.1

yeah if ido the cvrs, theyll go on a zx750.1

500 are easy for them! 500 each is good.

basically im inexperienced with both of these subs, as far as personal use. i have had some comps, and was really surprised with their efficiency. however, ive never had type r's at all. i remember they sounded a little muddy, anyone else on that?

500w for each cvr is pushing it.

450 each they will get plenty loud.

look for a 1000w @ 2ohm and and put the gains maybe 1/4 way up and youll be set.

it's all about the install. my type r's sound dam good to me with only 500 watts rms going to each.

Let me know, we can negotiate!

2 type R's off of the 1000W amp would be the best option...
