Has anyone got these or heard them? How do you like them?

get the type-x cause they sound great at any amplification, the type-r's will need a mid amount of amp power, and the type-s will be decent with alot of amp power. that is all

so when you say they are good, do you mean they are loud? or do they have good sound quality? of both? I am first looking for SQ, then second would be the loudness.

its all a matter of bass...if u want incredible bass, go with a w7, u could get an 8W7 to sound louder than a 2 12 RF or alpines unless u like the type X they jus came out with. but to my knowledge if u really want a system, go with JL Audio...they got the best on the market..IMO

why do you say the S will need a lot of amp power? and the Rs only mid? I have R's in the car and I had 1 typeS wired w/ a plate amp in my room, and the plate amp was 200rms, and it sounded good w/o being up all the way.. X would be awesome! haven't heard it tho.. I think Rs or S sound ok at any level..

S is a good sub, only needs 300w rms will run ok on less tho, has decent SQ can be had for a little over 100 like I said in the above post.. its good.. If I didn't have my Rs, and I didnt want a ton of bass I'd get 1 S and a 300w amp.. or an R either way, they're really close.. prolly go for S cause it looks a bit better

i guess they're good if you don't like bass that much and you just want little beat. but i have a type r and it sounds a lot better than that.

i think the type r is better than the type s because of the differences in the frequency response. the lower the frequency the deeper the bass.
type-s :26 frequency response
type-r :24 " "
type-x :23 " "
