major...unless you have a real good box design

build a good box, get 1000 watts to it and youll be extremely pleased

i sure am. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What are you shooting for? SPL, SQ, SQL?

 

[Trancer 10+ year member]

with a correct box design with all three lineups of those subs, two 12 R's are going to be louder.

My R's have plenty of SQ, I love them

id get 2 12" type X, with about 1900 watts rms to both or 2000 if u can get it, then it would be crisper and louder imo then a W7, and cheaper

It Depends on what you want

Output - W7, Type R, Type X

SQ - W7, Type X, Type R

Depends on what you want, the W7 is all around going to be the stronger driver, you're just going to pay more for it.

i agree with the sq but i disagree a w7 is going to have more output then 2x type R

i disagree a w7 is going to have more output then 2x type R

Totally disagree with that statement

 

[Trancer 10+ year member]

And im sure he is on a budget. It seems that he lined out two Type R's to one W7 and 1 Type X. All three options tend to be around the same ball park figure, except the W7, which is somewhat higher.

You running ported or sealed?

Budget on the amp?

Totally disagree with that statement

hmm i could easily be wrong but can a w7 get louder then 2 type r's, both properly installed and with correct amount of power to each? i still say two type r's

Assuming install is nice and you can give the R enough power to reach it's full output capability, I say two ported Type R 12's will outdo a single W7 12 all day long.

However

The W7 in my honest opinion is a better built driver and will sound significantly better, unless you have some great box building skills/setup skills going for ya.
