as the title states, i am looking for a 12" sub comparable in price and power handling to the type r. i have heard some negative stuff about the r. anyone have any suggestions?

there is nothing that compares at that price range and power handling.

you'll hear negatives about every sub, especially but that people either love or hate because of somebody's proclaimed success with it...

Don't be afraid to try it because someone said boo about it... Chances are, their ear is different than yours...

Anywho, try a diamond D6, RLP etc..

However i'm willing to bet that none of these options are going to give a huge noticeable different in output over that comp vr... unless you throw some good power to it.

i agree, but if there was, he already owns it... the comp vr

i have the compvr in a sealed enclosure @ 300rms. going to go ported @ 800-1000rms on the type r. hows that sound?

and, if nothing is comparable, whats the next step up?

it then becomes wide open for debate and personal preference. i guess it depends on what ur application is ... myself, i dont do competative. i just bought two type r 1022d. and running about 1100w rms to them. i will never really blast them tho as i like sound quality more. either way, after u cross the line into the competative world. there are so many different routes u can travel.

Crap power is too low. Nevermind.

so that type r wont handle 1000w rms? the specs for it say: 500rms, and up to 1500w peak. i thought if i fell in the middle with 1000w rms, i would be in good shape.

with 1000watts of clean power and a box built accordingly; youll be fine

RE SX 12 would be small a step up from the Type R 12, But if I was you I would just stick with the Type R in a really nice ported box 2.25 - 2.5 cubes in size tuned to 30hz - 34hz and feed it 800rms. You will really like the output and sound quality for only spending $130 on that sub and there isn't too much that competes with it at that price. I've heard bot the type R and the RE SX in person each getting around 700rms in 2.5cubes tuned to 32hz and was very suprised with the output that they both great SQ, Although I hafta say the RE sounded better to my ear. If you have the extra money get a RE SX.

ok....was going to make the enclosure around 2.5 cubic feet...tuned @ 32

if you have 1000watt rms to play with and want a step up from type r, you could go for an L7... just a thaught
