[QUOTE="FullThrottle7, post: 239275, member: 546116"] Hey, I have a Pioneer Premier TS-W1241C (12") that I got from Ikesound for about $80 after shipping on ebay, which is the second highest model Pioneer made last year (I don't know anything about this year's stuff). Jmac recommended it after I said pretty much the same things as you: small box, SQ over SPL, and around $100. Like Mamey said, they are a great SQ driver, and sound great inside the car. I have mine in a 1 cu. ft. sealed box and it sounds wonderful. There is a high amount of bass in the car, but the sound stays there, it doesn't vibrate so all the cars around you can hear it. I am giving it about 300 RMS, which is what you said you would be giving a 10", and the Premier 10" takes 400 RMS, so I assume yours would be more efficient. 300 watts really powers the sub well. I've only heard Type-R's in stores like Good Guys, but they seem to have a little more SPL than the Premiers. SQ wise, I'd say they were pretty close, but the Type-R might win there, too. Take into consideration, however, that the Type-R is usually about $30 more on average, even on ebay. Like I said, my Premier 12" was only $80 including shipping brand new, and ebay auctions for new Type-R's seem to end at about $110-$120. The 10" Premiers will do wonderful in the airspace that you have available and they are very affordable. I think that you will be happy with both of these woofers, and either way you go, the system will sound great. [/QUOTE]
