New vs. Old Type R

[ARCL100 10+ year member]

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything.

Can someone tell me the difference between the older and newer Type R's? Other then presumably power handling, is there much difference if running @moderate power (~500W/per) ?

Looking for subs for the g/f //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

TIA

Lol. I'd pick up some OZ Matrix's instead for about the same price, but those seem kinda hard to find these days.

new type-r's are a completely different driver. There is really no comparison between the two, searching would have allowed you to determine this on your own...

If it's so easy to find the answer, could you please direct me?

I'm not about to sort through 100 pages of "my R really SLAMS in my box :headbang:" posts to find the answer - that's why I started a new post.

I'd assume many people know the answer and could easily share the info with me. That's the point of a forum - it's not strictly an archive.

Since you know the answer, wouldn't it be easier to give me a brief explination as to why the new ones are so much better then the old, as opposed to being a little cumstain?

Completely different subs.

Different surrounds, cones, VC's (i believe), basically everything.

Higher power handling.

Just a better overall sub and can be had cheap on ebay

Yeah they are like apples and oranges. Like TommyK said new surrounds cones and yes VCs too. Also the new type Rs seem to be better suited for ported enclosures while the older R played decently in sealed enclsures.
