Type R's are ok, the Adire Shiva's IMHO, will impress you more.

i have 2 shivas with a cube each sealed stuff ( i know i know small box) on a jbl 600.1 my buddy has a type r 12's in a cube each also on a jbl600.1 he has his in a hyundai mine are in my maxima. imo i like the shivas ALOT better. his subs dont go as low but hit the 55-80 hz well. is it worth the upgrade? probably not unless you can sell the type r's for like 150 total.

if you want spl and don't care about sq by all means go with the L7s if you listen to rap hip hop and bass music by all means go with the L7s if you want extreme accuracy listen to all types of music and want to trade some spl for sq by all means go with the Shiva's

I had a guy hook up a 10" Type X in a local car audio shop. It was in an extremely small box like 1 cubic ft maybe. I dont know if it had enough power but it was what I expected. It was quiet but sounded oh so clean. I asked on his opinion on the SPL verse the W7. He said the W7 is way louder, not even comparable. I dont know I cant really say anything for sure until I hear it in a car.
