[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 6293731, member: 560148"] To OP, you need to figure out what you actually want out of your subs. The type X's and Type R's that you were debating between are very different subs. The BTL is alot more like a type R than an X. Also subs dont' push power. Subs take power and use it to move their pistons to create sound. RMS is nothign more than the thermal handling of the voice coil over long periods of time. For a daily driving setup its not the first figure I'd look at when picking a sub to play music well. I'd look at box size requirements, xmax and then powerhandling. Looking at all three give you a better idea of how much power you'll need to extract maximum performance out of your gear. For daily driving I'd rather run a fi q than a BTL. [/QUOTE]
