[QUOTE="soundstreamer, post: 1074943, member: 558924"] ^^^ i've was seeing a lot of type r pimpin' goin' around and this particular statement got my attention. i had an sx12...i had a few hundred laying in paypal, so i threw ~$130 at a type r on ebay. this was a quick little test that required minimal work to complete. the setup: i only have one box for 12"s...a sealed 1.25 before driver displacement. i've got a ton of subs laying around, but, only three of my 12"s are dual 2ohm, so that's all i tested this round. i ran all three off my ss10.0 @ 1ohm. the meter was on the dash and windows up(so as not to disturb the neighbors too much). i rolled up on on the volume a couple of times for each frequency and kept the highest reading i could get at least 2x each sub. my results: id v3: 139.9 type r: 140.5 re sx: 141.4 i cannot say anything about the sq of each because i have played nothing but test tones with each. in all fairness, i've seen people post that the type r hates sealed boxes. i will do more testing in a ported enclosure as soon as i build(or borrow) one. i will also break out some other 12"s (fosgate p3, pioneer spl2000, and re re) and hit them with another amp that produces decent power @ 2ohms.
