Good upgrade???

I was thinking about upgrading my Type-Rs to some SA-12s in the same ported 3.75cu box I have right now. Do you think this upgrade would be a feasible one or is it just a waste of money and I should stick with the Rs????

You heard wrong. I haven't heard from a single person about that.

Now if you push them with a 1500D free air then you'll get some noise... we QC test each one before shipping like that.

Ok, didn't say i vouch for the person or not. He just said that only on a certain note will he hear it and it's not cuz of over excursion or anything. Supposedly he talked to someone else who was having the same noise...

My first instinct is of course user error

If there is a noise it's the enclosure -- as each one is tested like so (yes, every one of them) :



Only thing you hear is air and bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
