Type R is my suggest //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Type R longer, louder, cheaper comparing with '07 P3.

this thread should start a riot

IMO the rockfords sound alot better than the R's but the R's have ALOT more output...so it really depends on what you're looking for

I would go with the P3 myself. But only because I haven't heard a type R. I can tell you the P3's get decently loud and can get low in the right box. Have pretty good SQ too.

Based on my experience, type R FTW!

do yourself a favor and buy a r or p3 on ebay for 1/2 the price, use that gift card on something else...

I second that

how much is your gift card worth btw?

 

[livinlegend 10+ year member]

do not buy a sub @ retail price from best buy. they are 50% off on ebay. buy a computer or something good

sell the gift card and get something else

A single 12" Type R at Best Buy is like $230 !@#!!$#!$@$!#$#@

He is asking which to buy not other options(online) so please stick to what he is asking. Now between the Type R and p3. Depending if you are porting. If you are going ported Type R FTW by a long shot

thanks guys. i have been having isp problems so i have not been on since i first posted. the card is $200 and both subs at the local BB are $199. so i would just have to cover the taxes. i may do the p3 because i had rather have clean sound over super loud sound, and my amp and some of my highs are RF and i have never had any problems with them. the only alpine i've had was a HU that went back to alpine 2 times in a year. (it went out again at 14 months an found a trash can)
