Mr. Purplermotoman, I wanna welcome you to the Forum! You are one patient fellow, and I know you will have what you want in a system soon. Those Type R's are a good first sub for anyone to have. There is a lot of information available to you (I think the search feature is fixed) and it will come in handy when reviewing specific brand names and models. I can relate when it comes to wanting a great sounding system and having kids to, lol. If you ever have any questions, search, or start a thread, or shoot me a PM. I will be glad to help you!
