The Official Type R Thread

I got the Kenwood KAC-9152D its 500@4ohms 900@2 or 1 ohms. Says its one ohm stable on the box and its CEA tested so it should do close to rated power. Under $200 on ebay brand new.

yo geez,those TYPE R's have tight SPL to! i think 149 daily is pretty good. also i see 152.7 in your signature, you did that with the TYPE R's in your avatar, or what subs did you hit that with?

type S is louder than type R, type R is louder than SX //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Type S isn't musically loud, the SX beats it on music. The type R beats the SX on music, especially.

The SX only has the advantage in a 100% fart box.

In an SPL configuration, the type S gets louder than the R wishes it could up to 1000 actual watts, past that the S doesnt handle the power. Doesnt exactly "handle" past 800 each - sound horrible but they stay together.

oh ok, i was like really the S louder than the R? looking at the Specs looks like the R would murder the S. I dont think the X is all its up to be. those things need tyo much power!

I'll take that as a compliment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But the truth is that every woofer has its application, the S WILL number better than the R because its so much more effeciant.

In a typical application the S will be louder than the type R, but it won't handle the power and it won't have as much of a low end. The type S only effeciantly tunes low in *one* box.

Don't underestimate the S! Which btw, actually has a dual spider, part of the reason it stays together under so much stress. Thats not to say I never ripped one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The type X is an extremely ineffeciant woofer... but the sound quality is just amazing.

A type R will spank a type X as far as being loud, both on the meter and on music.

The type X only has the advantage in a sealed box with *alot* of power, mostly because the type R just doesn't do it in a sealed box while the type X doesn't mind a sealed box.
