well i got my rlp in my ava so im not one of them, i considered getting a type r, til i saw the wer elike 8inches deep and im putting it in a reg cab truck

The RL-P is a great choice. I have a Mag and it barely fits behind my seat.

you just voted, didn't you.

I am surprised the Type R has 13 votes, must be all from people who actually bought them.

Or it could be because it is a valid comparison, and each sub has its niche. Also, when price is put into the mix, the type R is a logical winner.

I still choose the rl-p, as I love the sound of it, and I'm more of a SQ guy...but that's not putting anything against the type R. I have only dealth with the older model of the R too, so I can't comment too much on the new one, but it's supposedly a great improvement.

straight SQ, RL-P. You sacrifice *alot* of output, but it does sound better when properly utilized.
I wonder how many opinions in this thread were formed without ever touching either woofer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

listen to this guy because he knows everything. he even knows what system will get loud in my car without any experience with my vehicle. if he can't make a sub loud then it just isn't loud.

God forbid that a sub can be louder and cheaper?

i have no comment on the type r because i never used it but what i don't like is when someone tells me that my sub is not loud because god forbid if you and your buddies can't get it loud then it just isn't. i also don't like someone telling me about what will or will not get loud in my car when in fact that person has had no experience with my vehicle. i also don't like it when you make it seem that only you people know how to make good boxes and that no one else can make a good box.

as far as ported goes, i dont know, never heard either ported. but i put my buddies pair of 2005 type r's in my 2.6 ft^3 net sealed box, off my nine.1, and frankly the rl-p's OWNED them as far as sq AND spl went. i mean owned. almost to the point of embarassment. ported, who knows?

Well from what ive read from the TCAB crew the R's really shine in ported boxes, and sound pretty horrible sealed.
