12" Type R ported?

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 747 Registered: May-05 | How would 1 12" Type R ported be compared to 2 RE12's sealed. Same power for both. Kicker 250X2 amp (500X1). |

Some subs that are designed to reach full excursion with 150 watts might get louder then a sub that will hit peak with 500 watts. This does not stand true for every case but in this case I would have to go with the RE's. |
