should I go 2 12" type r or 1 15" or one 12" orion h2???

[99amgc43 10+ year member]

Here are the set ups I can go with: these are all 05 model type r's

1) Three 10" Type r's in vented box up to 4.5 cu ft. and 400 watts rms to each

2) Two 12" type r up to 4.5 cu ft total vented with 800 watts rms into each

3) One 15" Type r in vented box up to 4.5 cu ft. with 1000 watts rms

4) One 12" Orion h2 with about 1200 watts rms vented up to 4.5 cu. ft

what kind of specs should the box be too, i listen to all rap and like my bass to be felt and heard!!! how many sq inches of port? and tuning freq? and size port (width)?

one more thing, can the 12" handle 800 watts rms and would the 15 handle 1000 daily?

I dont really like kickers, just wanna try out what all the hype is about the type r's

btw: No I do not bump my music to showoff in oaktown at 1am. I live in alameda, drive a 99 mercedes amg c43 and currently just sold my old set up (three JL 10w6v2's with an mtx 81000d sealed)... so no, I do blare audiobahns or lightning audio....

if you're driving an amg, dont put some type r garbage in there. do some research and spend some cash.

are you even looking for SQ?

Well to be honest, I think alpine is cheap stuff too and I wouldnt like to show it off...haha but if it sounds good I wouldnt mind giving it a try for a few months (I change out my sub setup about twice a year) I used to have 3 diamond audios, then got come jl 10w3v2's, then got some jl 12w3v2's, then i got the 10w6v2's which gave the hardest hitting bass, but wasnt enough for me.

If I dont like this setup and end up spending like $400 on it, I wont care too much to sell it and take a loss and move on to other stuff... so the type-r wont have good SQ at all? i know there is type-r tread on here but that thing is pointless with over 150 pages!!!!

tcab suggests one 15" with 1200 watts rms, but he is charging 275 for just the box!

I say 2 12" type-r 4.5 net cu would be perfect for them with 800rms each what kind of amp are you useing. And another thought if your spending 209 bucks on a 12" h2 I have a 15" H2 d2 I'll sell for 200 plus shipping and if you send 1600rms to that in a vented box it will also hit pretty hard.

I have a whole bunch of amps, But i will prob use two oldschool crossfire CFA30hc amps... they rate it at 680 watts rmsx1 into 2 ohm at 12.2 volts but i hear they are way under rated....

btw, the 12" h2 is 200 shipped brand new!!!

U could look into like an rl-p or rl-s they have plain look so that sometimes can look better than an alpine and people will think its expensive!!
