Type R is great bang for your buck. I would get a quality amp for that if your going for more sq than spl. I love type R, but if your going for real sq, I agree with the above post, and would go with FIQ, Alpine type X, or a IDQ instead. I have my type R ported and it sounds great and loud. A good quality amp will make a difference on your type r if your going for sealed.

that 15" can pound man!!! But yeah I'd have to agree that these R's don't have the greatest SQ IMO....

hahha. tcab's are not impressive one little bit to me.


your gonna need to port it with more power. 3.5 cubes @ 34hz with atleast 2000 watts rms.

I wouldnt recommend this daily, I just blew my 15 Inch Type R, off like 1500 watts rms, I had it running off my kx2500.1 @ 4 ohms, I liked the sub though it had some real good low-end, but Im going to get some 15's that can handle the power better.

i had a viper 1200 on 2 12 type r's and it got pretty loud, but the subs started to fry

I am just wondering how it will sound with a Directed 1200d if anyone has tried it? I am thinking about doing a sealed box however I need to know the right amount of space to give it? What have most of you been successful with?

I have mine in a 2.5 cubic foot sealed enclosure and it sounds great. I have a phoenix gold 1500.1 amp powering it and it is incredible, I love it. I would recommend a sealed box over an incorrect ported box with incorrect tuning.
