What should i chose?

[rumblebee2 10+ year member]

so, i have a buddy that i'm doing a system for. he already has 2x 12" type-R's already in his tahoe, but, wants to go bigger. now he wants to be somewhat cost effective, should we just go to 4x 12" type-R's total or sell the type-R's and go to something else? just figured i'd ask for some incite from you guys.

If dude has power on tap for four Type R's your question answers itself. Adding a pair will be a huge increase in cone area and powering them wouldn't be too expensive.

He'd need at least a pair of 18"s in order to exceed the cone area of four 12"s.

well i agree with misfit for the most part. the most cost effective way would be to just buy two more arrrhhhs.

The most cost effective way of getting more is making more efficient boxes. It's cheap, takes a bit of understanding though. If you'd need help with box design I'd be happy to help.

do 2 18s if he has the power!

i'm pushing him for 2x 18s, but, i'm thinking 4 12" type-R's will get us louder cheaper.

hard to beat Rs and 4 is a good amount of cone area. I had 4 12" in my 02 celica and it was really nice.

your assuming his current enclosure sucks. He nevered even mentioned what kind or size of enclosure. For all we know his friend could be Vance Dickason. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I think adding a pair of Rs is the way to go here, man. They'll get loud and it won't cost much...
