i've heard that the kickers have been having some problems but i'm not an owner of one so i wouldn't know... just something to think about

[supra06]

I've had my R12 since '02 and I love it...Only 1 but it's enough for me. Rattles the shit out of my trunk and shakes the rearview and sideviews.

[supra06]

well, now i dont know what to get, any other infos?

[TeXaScHaMp]

type r hands down

[supra06]

can anyone else input in this? and thanks who has all replied

[TeXaScHaMp]

also depends on the box ur gonna put it in. A bad sub can sound pretty good in the right box and a great sub can sound bad in a bad box.

[supra06]

both going into a ported box with the right recommendations from the companys

[Durrby]

I have my R12 in a sealed enclosure and it still bumps nice. I play mostly rap music and i've heard ported is better for that. I might have to switch boxes in the future.

[TeXaScHaMp]

well if i can choose other subs what size do u prefeR? If you go on Partsexpress.com the dayton audio subs r flawless. They r cheap and still sound good.

[supra06]

well i have a box right now sealed with 1 cu. each, will the type r 10" fit in those and will bump, i was going for the ported box

[supra06]

should i get the 10s or 12s in the Type R's?
