No BS...ask anyone who competes in NESPL/ DB Drag/ Usaci in the New England area. A lot of people know who I am and that I'm not going to make something up. I'm just stating that they can easily take over rated power and are a good speaker for the money. If you don't like them then don't buy them but it doesn't mean they aren't decent. I have put them back to back VS 2009 Mojos and DC L4's and they did the same number even at a disadvantage in power (my Type R's are D4's and the others were D2's).You might be the master a building boxes, but you'll have to forgive me if your opinion on type r's doesn't defeat my argument. Let's see some proof of that 3600w on 2 type r 12's. Until then... BS.
Honestly I don't care if anyone else buys them, I don't sell Alpine and dislike a lot of their equipment, but these subs are good.
