[QUOTE="bass_lover1, post: 6392574, member: 555256"] Since I've only heard the X, and not the R I can't really give a fair comparison between the two. To date my favorite subwoofer would be the DIYMA R12 (search for R12 over there and you should find some reviews), but the weight of it and the fragile cone that you needed to be really careful with, led me to want something else. The Type X is [I]very[/I] close to how the R12 sounds, like probably about 95% the same. It can't extend quite as high (I had the R12 crossed at 125@12db), but it's pretty **** close. As far as transparency goes, and perceived "speed" the Type X does a wonderful job, couple that with being able to find one practically anywhere makes it a good choice IMO. That also means you can find crazy deals on em (I paid 135 shipped for mine, barely used). As far as size, generally as you go up in size you'll gain low frequency output, but also increase weight and box size. It's up to you which you're willing to give up, to gain the other. I'd find cheaper amps, not that the PDXs aren't good, but I don't like spending a lot of money on an amplifier, save that cash and get the SPX-PRO set, instead of the REF. Otherwise you sound like you're on the right track. Hell even the Pioneer PRS720 comp set would be a good choice, and they're a bit cheaper than the SPX-PRO. [/QUOTE]
