Type r's to the type x's question

[Phatmaxx87 10+ year member]

Ok, I am getting the 2005 type x 6.5 components and a now have the 2004 type r's. What are the things I will notice? Will I be able to run the gains higher on my amp(about half right now for the r's before they distort), will mid bass be better, will it be louder, better sounding? I know they are suposed to be good but I want to get some comparisions to the r's. I am not having any luck searching for info on the x's. Thanks

from what I've heard, the X's are SQ, laid-back type of drivers.. good sounding, but not meant for spl reasons. If you want loudness, you might be better off with the Type R's

hes not talking about the subs, yes go w/ the type-x's and your gain should not be at the half way mark...

hes not talking about the subs..

neither was I. When was the last time anyone described a sub as "laid-back"?

the type-x sub is "laid back"

the type-x sub is "laid back"

Who told you this?!. That sub is supposed to be insane. Anyways, I am talking about the comps. Hopefully, I will get more mid bass and alot louder.

i think you should make sure your gains are set right, check the amp section for the tutorial

I had to have it on high pass and I set the gains right before it distorted at 7/8s volume. I pretty sure it is set correct. I can only run the gains at half with the high pass turned off. I would hope the x's will take more power.
