YES!! TYPE-R are WAAAAY better!!

Type-S have a stamped basket and at higher notes you will hear it, the spyder mechanism isnt as good either. Theres more to it then im even saying here but i owned the Type-R's long ago.....Sweet sub but if you can look at the Pioneer Premier subs, youll change your mind!

thanks bro, so i think im gonna buy the type R's tomorrow

2 6x9 and 2 6.5

[FGCOUPE]

sweet!

youll love em man!

[Mag1c]

yeah, freaking expensive as hell. I am still deciding between the S-600 and S-609 or the R's, the peak power is a little better in the R's.... hmmm

[aznprid214]

umm expensive? less than a hundred is what i see on ebay... shoot, i was gunna get the type x speakers for a lil over 150 shipped.

[Mag1c]

ebay= shitbay, and i saw r's from shady sellers and with bidding not ending for a while, plus the S are amaze, I heard them.

[BJanzen]

Shit dude i got a type r off ebay. As long as you get it new your fine. Alpine in general kicks ass, alpine type r fuckin rocks! Do it.

[Unevolved]

eBay can have some great deals if you're careful. I've gotten some things off of there I'm very satisfied with.

[Mag1c]

yeah i don't mind ebay sometimes, and sometimes its great if your a seller and people don't read the fine print

lol

btw I bought the type S because i went to my local car audio store and tested out the R's and S's at peak, and although the R's were better and crisper, the S can hold its own, and yes I agree Alpine's RIP

look i know that there are lots of guys that are hardcore alpine but lemme tell ya for the same or maybe a little more money than alpine you can get JL. For the price of a type X you could get a w7 or w6 and it will be the cleanest sounding sub you've ever heard. I guarantee it. Even the new pioneer permiers dont have anything on jl. Or for less money you could get 12w3v3s which use similar technology as w6 and w7. either way JL won't disappoint you.

^Agreed!!

i once owned Alpine Type-R's (12") and let me tell you...
The Pioneer Premier 1000W subs i own right now anhilate the R's!
may not look all pretty, but it smoked em' hands down.

With the computer spec vented box on them are insane!
moves my A-pillars, roof, trunk, etc up to 3/4"-1", im surprised i havent snapped a window with them.

[Mag1c]

im talking speakers guys.. like 6.5 inch and 6x9 lmao...

the lady told me at bb that the 6x9 can sound like subs if u got amps hooked in, then again i may just put this sub i have lying around in my car so my speakers last longer

[FGCOUPE]

Type-R is still a sweet speaker/subwoofer man! no worries!!

[Mag1c]

haha alright, i'm pretty sure all alpine models are good. I checked them all out, and compared to some infinity's. Let's just say im glad i bought the alpines. ha
