Pros and Cons: Type R VS RL-P

[slikrider20 10+ year member]

Looking for some new subs, got it narrowed down to either a Type R or A Rl-P.

Do they compare to each other, or does the Rl=P have a huge advantage? I can pick up the Rl-p for about 100 extra bucks..is it worth it?

rl-p is a good sub. excellent sq and very good output.

type R juss wangs it in all catergories. RL-P may have it in sq, and thats about it.

have you used an rl-p or are you one of the people who reads that they are an sq sub and relays that info and discredits there spl capabilities?

i find it hard to believe that a type R "wangs" an rl-p in all categories, with the exception of SQ

im pretty sure they ran tests on both and it won all aspects except maybe sq... the type r that is

the RL-p doesn't lack in the SPL department...

We did tests of the type-r vs. the RL-P, the type-r killed it in SPL. Seriously no contest.

The RL-P is marketed as an SQL sub, and for good reason. Although SQ is subjective, i'd venture to say the RL-P has better SQ.

umm look who ya talkin 2, ive tested the rl-p in diff cars and diff boxes. the R meters louder, handles more power and juss plain out beats it in output. cmon now we have been through this be4, do a search. the rl-p isnt a bad sub, but it juss not a sub i would run in my truck. the R has been good 2 me thus far, waitin for a sub 2 come along and hopefully take its place, but no sub has yet,//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif dont think i'd get rid of it, the price is juss 2 good for a sub of this level.

well I wouldn't doubt the type r's capabilities, just saying the RL-p can get decently loud if ya want it to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I got it metered with the TL mic about a month ago. 300 watts going to it, in a 2.0 net sealed box, mic placed in the passenger side kick. I managed to do a 137 dB. (I know this is no where near what you veterans hit with your setups //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif ) It should be higher now with the amp I have currently powering the sub.

what does a 137 sound like?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I just followed what Moe Lester instructed me to do since that was my first time being metered...it was at a local car audio meet.
