Rf P3 12 Vs Alpine Type R 12"


Recommended Posts

Im looking at putting together a little setup, and I can get either of these subs for pretty damn cheap. Im just wondering which of the two subs you would prefer. I can get the Type R for $110, or the P3 for less than $100.

My System:

Pioneer AVH-P3200BT

4-Dayton 7 inch reference series (front doors)

8-Onkyo 3/4 inch tweeters (dash)

1-Sundown Audio 100.4D (mids/highs)

2-18" BTL's (for now)

Crescendo 3kwp (for sale)

Complete rebuild coming soon...

type r...if you're going to put the power to it

rms is a bit higher, and its a bit less stiff, and personally i think it just sounds cleaner. p3 isnt bad by any means, i would just choose a type r.

HELL NO!!!!! Im just looking at a setup to put in my buddy's truck. If I were to rip out the 18's I would run 12 12" Type R's (so I can get the service plans on them when I blow them up), but I have neither the time or the resources to do that.

rms is exactly the same

That was my thought. However I have seen Type R's take 1krms or more if done right. I have no experience with P3's.

Ive had a pair of p3's for a little over a year and have been very happy with them, i haven't used the type r's but i have hered good things about them . i guess it all boils down to a preference but if you can get the p3s for under a hundred it sounds like a deal to me.

The p3s are really punchy and accurate subs. Also very good sq wise. Can take more than the rated power if it is clean. Does pretty good on low notes and packs a punch for the price. For under a $100 it's a good deal.

I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England.

Lol... looks like we were on the same page. Car-B-Ques suck.

ya, tires and paint burning make the marshmallows taste funny.
