Rs and CVRs, is it worth it?

[Kickerkitty 10+ year member]

Ok guys, I have an opportunity to switch from CVRs to Type-Rs at an affordable price.

I would be giving them 600 watts each in a 30hz ported enclosure, with 2.4 cu ft each.

Now can anyone tell me, Can I expect an increase in SQ and SPL, and if so, anyone have a good idea how much?

24% more SPL, 1.3% less SQ.

EXACTLY!

i doubt you will notice a big change... maybe a little deeper sound is all, but no one can be sure

i did. my first setup was 2 cvr's 12'' in a 4.5 cube box tuned to like 38 recieving 500 watts. my second setup was 1 type R in a 2 cube @ 28 recieving the same 500 watts. the one type R was much louder. i hav e type R in a 3 cube enclosure and its even louder now.

lol. What, do you think he is some sort of Alpine rep in disguise trying to boost production sales? I would say that it is totally possible, considering that his old setup was tuned so high, the Type R at 28hz could sound louder to the ear. The mic may tell a different story. But seriously, why make that up?

Saying the Type-R will have less SQ?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Wrong they will sound so much better then the CVR. I have owned both and tried both in many different applications. The Type-R always sounded alot better.

i used to have a 15" CVR and i liked it, then i switched to a 12 R later, i'd say it got louder, but the box for the R ****** (built by me)......................overall i liked the R better becasue the sound quality was alot better (gave both 600 RMS)
