Shiva 12 vs. Type R 12

[venom107 10+ year member]

Ok guys dont get mad for another one of these shiva questions. Which one in your opinion is better for spl? I really think that my alpine is an awesome sq sub but I want more SPL. I plan on putting the shiva in a 2.5 cube ported to about 29Hz. I think my type r in a 1.33 cube tuned to 33Hz peaks really bad and has no response to other frequencies at all at least not loud anyways. Could guys please give me your opinion on this thanks.

If you want SPL look into another sub.

They get loud enough, and have an amazing low end.
