300 RMS, i was told the new type-r's are set at 500w rms. So 300w rms is fine?

My 15 is 500 watts rms but it is pre 2005 yea the 12 is 500 watts rms you can always look for the little older ones. as they are only 300

No it doesnt need that big of a box to achieve 140. Ide say around 2 cubes, tuned around 32-33 hertz, and you would do fine.

140 isnt that hard of number unless your in a trunked car with leather and seats dont fold down

what happens if the box is to big for the woofer? and i should stick to 2 cubic feet then?

more opinions pls

2 cubes is about where you want it. I assume your not competing anyways. At the shop thats about the size we use for it. You should be pleased with it

tune it around 30 then, and you should get the results you want.

yes I want two 10" type R's for $40 bucks!

Get the new one. It is getting some nice reviews on the forum, and sounds to be much improved over previous Type R models.

Your lack of power can be taken care of with a proper enclosure.....and you can always add another amp later.

bump that m just get the type S, but if you can get more power then getthe type R, im not sayng you will not get good results using 300w for the SWR12"but if you get the new R's give em no less than 500W, you will be happy with a type S ad 300W, i wouldnt rccomend the old R's , to many issues to deal with , for one the Gay surround comes apart after a time of beat down, and no i dont mean abuse to the sub.....TYPE S! besides the new S looks sikk chrome on my 12"inch dubs, i mean sub...
