18" fi ssd vs. 15" alpine type r

[jcgtpafl 10+ year member]

which do yall think would be louder, i have an orion 2400d that puts out 1200x1 @ 1 ohm, 800x1 @ 2 ohms and 425x1 @ 4 ohms. im gonna have it wired at one ohm in a ported box that follows the makers suggested size and tuning frequency in a station wagon if that has any effect on your opinion. thanks for any help

the ssd wouldprobably be louder if everything else is the same, and it will tolerate the wattage better. after all you are talking almost double the rms of the type R

yeah i know that but ive seen em at 1000w with no problems and my friend said it would be a fine set up but i still like the idea of having an 18

with the flatwind coil option i fed my old ssd 10s 1221wrms with only alittle coil smell after long harsh beatings.

although im in love with my new ssd 10s because this time around i got the copper coil option instead of the flatwinds. and saved $30 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

i vote Fi.

Has anyone done a head to head comparison or are you all just riding the boner?

Type R's have beat subs rated for double the rms, such as Tommyk's type r vs. re sx testing.

the 18 just cuz it has more cone area. but its install dependent because i know i would get the R louder.

exactly, argh>sx and sx> ssd so argh > ssd. The extra cone area of the ssd would probably give it an advantage... so i'd say its a tossup. The r would probably get a little louder and the ssd would probably sound better.

I would get the alpine, then eventually if your looking to upgrade you'll have room for another r, where you might not have room for a second 18.

I actually disagree.

I actually disagree.

feel free to enlighten, you quoted a good bit to disagree with....so i'm not even sure what you mean.

Well. The SSD and SX are close.

I honestly wouldn't put the R that far ahead of the SSD.

my 15 hits the lows as well as a few single 18 setups.
