If u wanna save some money then just by a type r 12 or 15 and port the bish. i have 2 type r 12's ported and it sounds good and hits hard. U might even wanna look into a another amp since your budget is pretty high.

Type Rs and "sounding good" usually don't go together.

@asianinvasion21 ... well i like typeRs but my amp is pdx1.600 which can only push 600 rms ... but 2 typeR would require 1000 rms ... in that case will they sound so good?

 

[asianinvasion21 10+ year member]

the type r needs about 600 rms for one so if u get one type r it would be a perfect to match your amp.

@asianinvasion21:

i would love to get one type r and if i can manage enough cash then i'll surely go for another type r powered by one more pdx1.600 ... but if i get one type r with a perfect ported enclosure with my current pdx1.600 amp, will it sound significantly better than my current setup of 2 jbl gtos that run on the same amp? ... besides could u please comment on the durability of the type r subs ...

yes in a proper ported box the sub should sound better. A ported box is key for these subs. its a higher end sub compare to your jbl subs. As far as durability ive been running about 1300 watts to 2 of these subs for little over a year now and they a perfectly fine. If you check on ikesound.com or another wholesale website you should be able to get the sub for around $100 plus shipping.

hmm ... can anyone send me a design for a single type r 12 ported box ? ... as far as i know they need a 1.75 cu ported box for optimum performance ... that size is fine with my trunk ... so i would really appreciate it if someone helps me out with a design as they are pretty confusing according to the manual ...

finally ... got the type r 12 ... put it in an alpine specified ported box and im already in love with it ... and the best part is that it's yet to break in and sound better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ... beats my 2 gtos by far ... i ordered a second one immediately after listening to what one of these can do ... worth all the hard earned money i paid for it ... thanks for all ur support guys ....
