[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8622260, member: 650438"] type S subs are better for SQ than the type R. Type R doesnt hold a candle to the W7 in any aspect. The 1000 rms rating is not real, a true 1000 rms clamped to the type R will blow that sh*t. If you are looking for a mix of SQ and SPL, SSA Xcon does a lot better job. Why? Because of alumnium shorting rings allowing smooth undistorted response up top while being able to dig down low cleanly as well. USA made coils vs typical chinese made coils actually make a huge difference as well. The only draw back is the 2-4 month wait time because its custom built here in the US. FI Q neo is also a low distortion sub resembling the W7. PS i owned the type R and SSA subs before. type R gets completely sh*t on in every aspect by almost other subwoofers i've owned and i have a strict requirement for good sounding bass due to my wide musical preferences which requires a wide bandwidth and good group delay.
