Dual 4 ohm type-r > dual 2 ohm CVX....

Tested and metered by a teammate of mine.

As for the L7 vs. type-r battle, i'd say it could go either direction. Both can get plenty loud given the right enclosure and power. I'd say the type-r may edge it out a bit in the SQ department while still getting plenty loud.

IMO, get whichever one that you can get cheaper.

save the money ($300) that you will spend on a tcab and put it towards. elec. upgrade, more power, better subs, etc. build your own box and use the money else where.

ITS ALL IN THE INSTALL!!!!.....yea, ya know what, why dont YOU go ahead and WASTE your money on all that good stuff...throw it in a box that wont be made right, and we'll see whos is louder.....come on man, you know its all in the box...product comes 2nd...or 3rd even.

And for the thread starter....from experience..id go with the tcab...wont be 300 bucks either..prolly 250, and if you go with the type R's, you wont be disappointed how loud 2 $120 subs can get....and 250 for a great performing custom box is not bad at all!

What if I don't get the TCAB and were to use a 5 cubic foot box tuned to 30 Hz?

Which would be better overall then?

Also would I notice a major difference between the two?

IMO it would be cheaper to get the L7's and build your own box for like $50

Well i could buy two 12" Type R's right now or buy one 12" 06 Kicker L7 right now and wait till next month to get the second...but I don't want to get the Type R's and say **** I wish I went with something that could get louder and deeper.

Give them the proper box and power, and you won't be disappointed. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What's the proper box and power?

 

[tommyk90 5,000+ posts]

What's the proper box and power?

~2 cubes per 12" (two 4" aeroports, or about 25 square inches of port area), with at least 700 RMS a piece.

Cool,I might just do that and get the Type R's because I can afford both right now and then next month get the Lanzar Opti200d and wire down to 1 ohm for 1600w.

Would the lanzar opti-2000d be a good choice.I can get one for about $315-350.

I disagree. electrical upgrades is part of the install btw. first off it would be a whole hell of a lot cheaper to get someone to design a box and build it your self. and last time i checked mark isn't the only person on the earth that knows how to design a box that will get loud.

But go ahead and pay more for the box than you did the subs.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

and for the record R can handle 1k daily, i had an R15 on 2500d daily@ 1ohm. and it handle it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the SX would eva. R wasnt breakin a sweat, until i pushed it hard, where as the SX juss sweated all day.lol. but its a toss up, flip a coin and there ya go

Should I just buy one 12" 06 Kicker L7 and next month buy the Lanzar Opti-2000D and build a box for it and then in July by the second L7 and build a second box that fits both?
