w1 vs type r vs w5

[hd2500]

help me out here guys. i have a hd 2500 crew cab. i'm either going to run two w1's, either one or two type r subs, or spend a little more and get one w5. would like to have clean sound but am looking for the biggest bass possible without spending a bunch. i'm running a older precision power 2400 amp which is brand new. limited on space here so i'm looking to either have the subs under, or behind the back seat. any other slim sub recommendations will be appreciated, thanks!

type r

 

[hd2500]

should i run one or two type r's. im looking for the biggest bass possible. clarity isnt a huge deal to me, but i dont want it to sound like sh*t. all of the stereo shops around here say they like the w1's and im not sure why.

2 is fine

 

[hd2500]

so im better off with the type r than any other flat sub? and can i get a 12" behind my seat, or would i have to go with a 10.

Type R IMO there is no better sub to recommend for what you're looking for....they are one of the most bang for buck subs out there.

and would i be fine running just one of those? or for the same price, get two w1s

Type R shouldn't cost you that much more....you can pick them up brand new for around $120-$130, and yes I'd take one Type R over 2 W1s.

and for all those you can pay 3x more for a sub that will not perform 3x better. just my .02

How is $180-$200 three times more then $130?

I was over exaggerating....but not by much.

Fact remains best bang for low $ will be Type R for this guy. recommend something better?

I'm just not a fan of custom subs....sorry. magnets and baskets determine a lot, all you're paying for with those subs is better soft parts which to me is overkill. considering you're going to bottem out the sub before any of those components are even needed.
