Type X Question

[DrMurdock 10+ year member]

my cousin has a type R and i have a type X. saying that the type -r can get louder than a x is jsut plain stupid. dont listen to him. wit hthe type-r, it cant hit the real low notes at all, while my X makes my entire car vibrate. type-r is loud, but dont go overboard with saying it gets louder than an X, and get totaly destroyed by the X at low level bass.

i love the way mine sounds, the extention a amazing, 1.75 cubes tuned to 33hz(ish)

that was my fav part about the X, great extension. The transient response was also *awesome*.

I could pop in here and say my blazer when it had the 2 type R 12 wall "destroyed" my teammates pair of DD 9512's and more power... does that mean the R will spank DD all the time? Nope.

Now, if we were comparing apples to apples here... and I dropped the DD's into my wall with a box that worked best for em, and the type R's were still louder.. thats another story.

Frankly, I've had the X and the R in the boxes they like, and the R is all out louder while handling more power. If your comparing sealed box vs sealed box, the type X is a much much better woofer. Type R's are pitiful sealed.
