an SX would take on a type R...SQ wise, an Avalanche or RLp would put it to shame also

i wouldnt say put it to shame... they are all great sq drivers, but yes for the money i would get the type r's.

I believe there is a thread dedicated to the Type R Vs the RL-P and the type r crushed it, so no arguement there.. as for the avalanche.. never heard one..

wow if a type r crushed an rl-p then i am buying a type r right now. i owned a pair of rl-p's and if a type r crushed it, i must own these subs as soon as possible.

he made install adjustments at the end of that thread with very different results...

don't take me word for word

but I think his main issue with the rl-p was that it wasn't hitting hard and the sq wasn't all the great. I believe he ended up porting it or lowering the gain/using another box or some other major install adjustment, and he described it as being "day and night" difference.

He also said the Type R would probably still be stronger in terms of output. I dunno if the second direct comparison was made though.

Here's the quote

"just dropped the RL-P into the 2 cube 28hz box... night and day difference. It sounds extremely good, tonally its one of the best woofs ive ever heard. It still lacks extention, but this i believe has to do with the vehicle. Very smooth now, plays complex passages with ease.

I'm very happy with the SQ, we'll see if it gets louder... SPL testing later and more SQ review on the other woofs in this box "

he didn't end up doing a second comparison though.

Get a couple of mag 12's. You can find 'em used for like $225 or so. Those things are amazing ;P

after he made the adjusments, it still didnt compare to the Type R. thats the best sub u canget rite, crushes SX,rl-p, ava, whaeva else for the price. none comes close 2 wha the R is capable of and wha it has done. 150.5@28hz 2 12s. on TL

Those are great numbers no doubt, but someone who doesnt have the testing capabilities / equipment to make it do those numbers aren't going to get the same results. We all know Mark uses his "magic wang dust" lol.

Get what you think you should get man. You won't be able to achieve the numbers that Team Phat Hertz has unless you have a TL (or whatever meter) and can constantly test, rebuild, test, rebuild, & test some more... I'd go with the rl-p's to tell you the truth if you want a little better SQ than the R's.
