They both sound good, but personally I like the R's better.

i say go with the rockfords

but i might be a little biased as you can see from my signature //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i'd have a rockford amp to but i don't have the money yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

save some money and get a brutus sub they will crush a t1 and sound better than an x.

i got a hookup at bb thats why im deciding between these 2. any real differnce??? i heard rf break or tear easy. not sure what the peak power would really do

I say don't go with either, get a sub that you cant buy at BB, you will be more than happy..

 

[ChargerBoy23 10+ year member]

I have type r's and love mine. So I would go with that

p3's 'might' sound a bit better, but the type-r's will handle more and get alot louder.

they still off them employee disc @ like $85 ? i remember the type-e's weer like $35 a pop when i worked for geeksquad as an autotech.

how do you even know? he hasn't said his goal or anything with this system, maybe he just wants some subs period, and since he gets a discount at bb why not

but i'd rather go with the vendor accomodations rather than employee discount.. accomodations are retardedly cheap prices, when i worked for CCity the Solo X 18's were $465 BNIB //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif kicker's entire lineup was up for grabs minus the warhorse, but bb's alpine / kenwood accomodations are pretty nice, only for car-fi sales reps and geek squad auto tech installers though.

You don't need to post the information on the subs, we already know what they can do Type R's all the way; this is coming from a competitor.

I think im settled on the 2 type R's from whatever I received from this forum. Any recommendations on an amp to power them???? 2 channel or mono??? preferrably from bb or up to the $250-$300 range. whatever gets the most out of them. i just want to hit hard.

I would recommend the Alpine amp for obvious reasons but keep in mind that amp is only 2 ohm stable. If you get the Type R's in DVC 4 ohm it would be like pissing in the wind. I would say the Alpine amp and 2 DVC 2 ohm Type R's FTW.

type R's handle more juice and get way louder in the right enclosure
