If you like the sound of the CVX, you'll probably like the L7s better than the Rs. I believe the CVX and L7 are basically the same except one is square. Could be wrong though.
sweet thanks alot man, i was leanin towards the alpines cause their so highly talked about, but comparing the l7 and the type R specs, the L7 just has better figures, plus it looks a lot cooler, i just want to be able to hit 145-150 db on the meter
Basically, there probably won't be a noticable SPL difference, provided that they are in the same car, box, etc (Going by WinISD's graphs). SQ is a completely different animal. If you can find both in the same price range, I'd get the L7s.
sweet, yeah the whole SQ thing im not worried about, thats what i have my other speakers setup for, im just lookin for something thatll pound. Ill prolly go with the L7's cause i can get them, their just 50 bucks more than the Type Rs. thats a good point too about the rms
