I love my type R's. I've never heard an SE.

id personally go with the RE, 600w RMS, vs type R 300w RMS for SPL, i would feel more secure with a 600w RMS sub rather than knowing i have a 300w RMS sub, even tho those type R's can take a bit more than 300w

All box dependant... the 600W that RE states is thermal I believe. I am putting around 750W to my single Type R ATM, and have been since the beginning of August.

if you can get the 600 for the SE, SE for both spl and sq

how much rms are the new type r's going to have

 

[kustyn727 10+ year member]

the new ones are 300rms but i think they can take 400 for fun

DEFINATELY THE SE...

the SE has great sound quality and can get plenty loud...

i believe whoever is running a type R at 750 watts has

no SQ and just a lot of loud farting...

but that is a little abuse for that driver!?!?!

if a type R can be compared to a W3... then

i still say the SE kicks the sh1t out of it...

It's been almost 5 months since I have been running it like that. Remember that its in a tiny sealed box.

i noticed that in your sig once i posted... my bad...

does it get really loud at 750watts? or is there a point

where it just WONT get any louder to the ear?

It is pretty loud, louder than alot of 2 12" setups I have heard. It probably could take a bit more power, but I am not gonna do that. And even giving it around 600W is noticeable to the ear. May be a result of the small box size.

that's called power compression //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
