Type R Thread (Please don't lynch me just help me out)

[amp roach 10+ year member]

I currently am running a 12" Type R on 600w RMS at 2.1cubes @ 34hz. It gets plenty loud for me but can be sloppy at times as I listen to all kinds of music. I would like to run 2 10s (Type R) in a sealed box on either a PDX1000 or an M1000. I need someone with experience with the Type R to tell me if the 10s will get close to how loud my 12 is. If they are about the same volume but much cleaner and punchier, SIGN ME UP. That's exactly what I want, very punchy bass. However, if I will lose a very significant amount of volume by going sealed I really am not interested.

ported is ideal for those subs!!! don't know why it will sound sloppy just from 600 watts. they can each take a bit more than that! do you have a prefab box or a custom box?

 

[Jh8909 10+ year member]

x2 if you have a prefab throw it out. you need a custom built box.

Lol type r's will always sound sloppy. they are trash. They are just an inexpensive entry level sub that won't do over rated. if you think they do... you have impedance rise that is saving you from cooking your coils.

What are you talking about? I ran 1500k daily for years on a 15. Two tens in a ported box would be pretty nice. But you could also look at a better driver all together (ten inch) that will like that amp and also make sure its in a proper enclosure.

I am running 750 rms to 2 12" 4ohm type rs...and they take it like champs...still sound perfect AND it is for sure at 1 ohm. Type Rs are by far the best budget sub...well Kicker and the Type Rs are the 2 best...think kicker might be a bit better though. But yea anyways dont say something about something when its complete bull **** yo.

Oh it's for sure at 1 ohm? Have you clamped it? I'm going to guess you haven't. If you think they sound great then you don't know what accurate sound is. They are junk. They have 2" coils and no magical cooling. This means they can't dissipate heat as effectively as a longer coil and a sub with extensive cooling. The soft parts make it sound like total garbage even in great boxes.

My current box was built by me, as will my next box. Another option I have considered was a 15" fi q tuned low, around 28-30hz. Anyone with a q recommend it?

they do have good cooling, they also dont play anything but rap very well no matter what the box. get different subs if you want" tight" bass

What frequencies is it playing sloppy at?

Tuning that low is meh.
