Why dont you pick up another type r? .. type s subs are a waste when the r's are so cheap ..

you think 2 12'' type r's could be louder than 4 12'' diamond d3's ?

Diamonds are way better.

No, four D3 12's would run all over two 12" R's, in my honest opinion the D3's are better subs all around, have pretty **** good quality as well. D3's = my vote

of course .. four vs two is gonna win .. but with equal numbers .. my money is on the type r.. you all know they can be fed 1000 watts .. and sometimes even want more..

i have a diamond d3 12" in my boat with about 600 or 700 watts on it and it sounds great. gets decently loud too.

what would be a nice amp for a pair of diamond d3 12's ? you think they could take 1000 watts between them alright ?

considering i am running mine off of 6-700 watts, they will take every bit of 1000 watts. look for a Diamond D5 1200.1, great amp but you would have to most likely buy a used one. what kind of budget do you have for an amp?

 

[basschase 10+ year member]

im around $300 or $350 probably , if i can find a decent one in that range

how much louder do you think 2 diamond d3 12's with around 1000 watts would be than my current setup , single 12'' type r in a 1.25 cuft sealed box with an alpine mrd 605

or what about this http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=251 for 2 of them

You should stick to your type R and just buy another type R and put them in a ported box. I first had my two type R 12's in a sealed box and they were awful, hardly any output and didnt even sounded good at all. Now I have them in a ported box 5 net cubes tune to 32hz and they get loud and sound very nice. TYpe R's arent made for sealed boxes . Put it this way my 150 watt pioneer 12' got way louder than my type R with 750 rms in a sealed box.
