I just thought I'd share, I can get the r's at my work for 80 bucks. This tempts me to buy 4-12" type x's.

Why the hell didn't you say this before I bought 8 RF HE's for my IB HT setup for 70 a pop. I would have easily used the ARRRRRRS instead matey.

X's ****

Well, let's see, just today I got back from my local audio shop, the guy there had just finished cutting apart a 12" type-x. I pulled out the cone and looked at the (fried) VC, and took special interest in the plastic bracing behind the cone, which looked like it belonged on something from roadmaster. To top it all off, it had been blown by one of those new stackable Alpine amps that put out about the same power that I had running to a 12" CVR for FIVE MONTHS before it blew. Not to mention that the Type-R's do just about everything they do as good or better and seem to be more reliable... I just don't see why the X's exist...

yea ur a retard if u expect us to belive that.....he prolly turned the gain up on the amp and clipped the type x to death....

ive had type X's and Type R's.

type X's = smoother sounding, better sq, and better low low end, and like sealed

type R's = Louder, but more mechanical sounding. more efficient.

Yes that's the amp and what I told you is what my car shop guy told me happened. And I actually ran 1200 watts on TWO 12" CVRs, one per side. One lasted three months, the other lasted five and since I'm not 14 years old, I don't really care if you believe me so have a nice day.

Oh and I bet you'll LOVE this statement, I hit 148 db on an AC, in a ported box tuned to 30hz. Bet you won't believe that at all....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Also, about the Type-X, my shop guy also told me that they've sold six of them, and gotten six of them back blown.

Hmmmmmm....
