[QUOTE="BumpinImpala, post: 7928470, member: 644580"] I've had a Type R 12, and am currently running two IDQV2 12's at the moment (both systems were sealed). The Type R was in a 93 Sable, and it was running on around 700 watts and was extremely loud. It would shake my rearview completely off, and would set off car alarms lol. I believe I had it in a 1.25 MTX Bass Slammer enclosure. The only problem with it was it seemed to...boomy?....for my tastes. I switched over to a few systems in between, before landing on the IDQ's. I love these things, but they don't get as loud as I'd like. I like to be able to hear my system outside of my car when I'm working on the yard or whatever (I live in the boonies, so it's not like I'm annoying anyone.), and they sound great in my car (05 Impala), but they don't get as loud as I'd like outside of the car. From a purely SPL standpoint, a few Type R's won't sound half bad. But in all honesty, for the money, you could buy better stuff that isn't in a big box store. (FI comes to mind, or the SX series from RE). I have a Kicker L7 12 that is louder than the Type R (with less watts ran to it, from a Kicker SX6501), but it can't hit low notes that well and it ***** from a sound quality standpoint. From a SQ system standpoint, if you blend the subs in properly, you can't go wrong with the IDQ's. I have two running on around 325 rms per sub, and they sound amazing. I'm kind of in the same boat you are though, and looking at getting a LOUD system in the next year or so, and running it on a 1600 watt amp. Good luck with your buying decision man! [/QUOTE]
