yeah that's what you'd think right? but this isnt the old style coustic, and i listened to both subs same size in same box, coustic and type r, the coustic definately hits harder. plus i already have coustic amps so itd look better than the mtx subs i have.

i looked up the ratings too and the 12"s coustic were rated close to the type r's 12"s. they're real close. only down side is 199 bucks per sub.

Rep Power: 0 The Coustic subs may be louder...But I guarantee you in the proper encosures the type-R will have a much flatter and quicker response. I've heard a few coustic setups, all were pretty loud.. none sounded too good in the bass department..

Rep Power: 0 make sure that the type R's u where listening too were sealed properly. I know that the citcuit city that my friend works att there are a lot of dumba$$ people that don't seal the sub right, BTW I get type R subs for $89 each
