I recently bought 2 alpine type r 12's for 250 including shipping on ebay. I cant tell u what they sound like cuz im not gonna hook them up until this weekend. U can get 2 12's for 219 plus like 25 or so for the shipping or u can buy 2 seperately at ikesound.com for 100 each but im not sure how much the shipping is gona be. I have heard 2 tens at a local stereo place and the sq is awesome. Didnt get to turn them up tho cuz they were in the store so cant help u with the spl. Hope this helps

For temporary subs, I'd just get one of them. I have 2 right now, the SQ is awsome, and I want more SPL. I just ordered a RE HC 12 and a RE HC 15, i'm gonna try them out, see which I like better then sell off the next.

Seriously though, if it's just temporary, see if you can grab something used or whatever.

Good luck

theyr pretty good subs from the setups ive heard. Id go with the Ed K's thought, their basicallly the same price but will out perform the R's in every way

Yea their not power hunger mongers so you wont need a huge amp but if your a huge SPL guy I just say save up and go big later on. No point in gettinga tempoary system and selling it to lose money just to spend more on a XXX or HC later on....

Is that per sub? Or would a pair of Type R12's be good in that to?
