SDC2.5 vs Type-R

[AllenH427 10+ year member]

I'm sure some of you have seen some of my other posts about possibly buying some Type-Rs, but before I order, I want to be confident I'm making the right choice. I'm set on getting the AQ1200D so I'll have 1.2 kw to work with. I'm looking at 2 12's and let's say they'll be in optimum enclosure.

So within the

The sdc2.5 sound a lot better to me. They dig low even if tuned high. Aq ftw

Audioque for two reasons you can get recones and customer service.

I may sound like an idiot for saying this, but which setup is/would be louder?

Companies aside, which is the better sub?

here's a review i was just reading over.

"I've read a few posts around here that compares the type-r to the sdc2.5. with the full 600 watts rms (alittle over that actually with the iA7) the sdc2.5 blows the type r away. my buddy has a type-r 12" with 600 rms alpine monoblock wired to a 2 ohm load in his 2008 civic. it does not even come close in output. The sdc2.5 gets alot lower as well. like I said before I could not be happier... "

X2 i was just gonna say this. He ran a bunch of 10s for a while. He was getting some crazy #s tho on 12" argggghhsss. My buddy has arghhs as well. He getting soem okay # too. Either choice is a win IMO. But if it were me, id go AQ.

But there is a sense of bias because he is the one with the AQ. I don't know of anybody with any AQ subs so I can't listen around for myself. 2 of my friends have Rs, and they sound wonderful. This is a tough choice...

The 2.5's get loud and low in the right enclosure, and their customer service is excellent.

Its a pretty tough choice if youre looking for a 5:3 ratio. Ive never tried those aq's but my r 12 liked alot more than 600 watts.

 

[MkKin420 10+ year member]

I have not had much experience with r's, heard em once or twice, but I've had a single 2.5 15 for only a few weeks off only a brutus 1208 giving it maybe 4-600 watts and its been absolutely amazing with the lows. Never know till you've heard them both i guess.

ill have some results soon my buddy just swaped his r's out but hes running some hdc310's so im sure they will blow the r's away.
