sx???

[Spkrman]

All I have to say is that everyone thought the same way about the Hifonics Brutus back when it was popular.

whats your point?

lets even assume SIMILAR performance... why would you pay more to get the same thing? hrm...? The SX has its uses, but a better daily driver than the type R its not.

yea, if u wanna be burnin ''extra glue" off the whole while u have it. i mean peeps that say RE dont even own an SX, so y do they have an imput becuz of wha they read, if u havent tested both, then u shouldnt say anything. Get an R15 and swap it out wit the SX, i bet u will be an R fan then, u'd ask yaself y in the hell did i pay almost 300 for a sub thats behind an 100bux sub.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

You weren't there to hear the subs, obviously.
The type R was NOTICEABLY louder to the ear... why? Because it did the same number, but 6hz lower... it also had MUCH better extension and it also handled the power MUCH better. The R *is* a better daily driver.

The difference was even bigger in the 10" version...

And yea... its a hell of alot cheaper...

I DID choose type R's over SX's...

smart move apparantly, seeing as how I currently hold the MR1 and DB1 records in MECA...?

You're overreacting. If you had it your way everyone would run Type Rs. One success doesn't prove anything. Observe.

Our DHM108B will hit 110 dB with around 100 watts. And at it's thermal limit of 275 watts RMS it is doing 114 dB. (Enclosure type and cabin gain adds considerable SPL to the above figures. A pair of these woofers in our wicked one enclosure won a 1999 Outlaw SPL contest with an SPL of 161.8 dB with around 500 real watts.)

Since the DHM108B is $95 + shipping, it's cheaper than the Type R and pushes higher numbers with less power. By your logic, the DHM108B is obviously a greater woofer because of the results of one test.

SX sucks because I have done testing and I know so. Type-r bish. I've done exstensive testing to prove it.

so doing port war numbers mean?

It doesn't matter where the number comes from, just one success was all that was needed.

i see more than 1 success. see alot of people not being able to accept it and move on. for every bonner story on a type r there is a basher and they both outwordly seek the other. so if people are sick of it why do the continuously give the other side ammo

i believe the difference with a 15" type r and an sx are only 60 bucks different... 290sx 230 for type r... better than one another? eh, i would say they are pretty equal... money shouldn't matter in which sub performs better... LOGICALLY and economically, the type R would be a better choice because it's the same quality for a lower price... but i don't think one is better than the other other than price... but in the end, what does it matter?

people like what they like... if someone likes how the sx looks over the R, they'll most likely get it... Not everyone is trying to find a competition sub to throw 2500 watts at like spkrman... IMO, if you power each sub with their rated power, they'll perform equally.. one driver is NOT better than another just because you can abuse it more...

use them both correctly and they are pretty equal...

BTW, that R is a nice looking beast of a sub from the bottom //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

everyone has their own opinions.

but also everyone takes peoples advise about the stereos. people that are less knowledgable(sp, cant spell. lol)

If u post something about, say a funky pup. someone reads it and is like wow there good?? they will go out n buy one... prolly be disapointed since they thought they were so good. but because one said they were they will do it.

they go by what others think not what they think

some of the numbers in the db section.. how do u know if there real? its so easy for some one to type.. hey i did a 166.3 yesterday with 1 12" SONY!. lol

people are to gulable and prolly will believe it.

the only way to find out wich sub is better for U. is to get both and test them out yourself

Ive had (2) 12" 2004 Type R's before. I personally didnot like them. was only throwing them 600 watts each tho. not enuff i guess.

Since then the 2005 series ive heard GREAT stories about... are they true? some prolly other maybe not. the only way to know is for u to order them and find out.

same thing with SX's I owned 2 of them, powered by an Orion 2500D. they were getting a descent mount of power, but the numbers they were producing for me were lacking... but i bought them to test them out since u cant judge something unless uve actually heard it yourself.

if u havent heard something yourself, no reason on posting about it just cause other people said they were good.

some people may agree with me and some people may not.

this is just my opinion. cause number 1. u cant judge a book by its cover n 2. u cant always go by what other people say

 

[SBLAZER]

they were used properly, juss the R came out on top, the test werent meant for abuse, juss subs we had and tested. i found the R 2 be better so did others. not tryin 2 bash anything and i dont encourage it. this is all fun and games. its wha works best for u, thats wha matters the most. ut the R is a better steal. used properly im sure it can beat the SX in every install.

2 12" type rs will do a 150 in a non wall street set up. few of us seen spkrman do it in a db drag on the dash (db drag style) he didnt have it "tuned" in either was running off 1 orion 2500d iirc. im not saying the type r is the best but i will say is what tommy spkrman and someothers in his group are saying is pretty legit. is it the highest number ever no but most of the guys hear that bash it arent doing 150 either. instead of trying to be a keyboard nazi learn what is going on and if you can do better then talk smack. if you blow one up you did something wrong i seen spkrman beat the crap out of them as well not just on burps. what it is that most over look is the systems design as it is even more important than the sub used

and 2 big *** exide batteries as well (think they were exides). But those things did get loud dont get me wrong. He turned it on and let me stand next to it with my head in the blazer and w0w. but everyone know's he's got his magic 'wang' dust in those boxes

i'll never necessarily bash a type R because I have seen what it has done without proper 'tuning'. i just don't like them as much as SX's but everyone on here has a good point, To each his own. I personally like the SX's look better than the R's and i really don't like the R's surround but i'm never going to argue the R's performance.

b0ners = teH w1n!
