I'm thinkin that the 2 type R's may have a fair bit of bass. They are 15"s which mean they will move more air than the 12's. Not sure tho how they will stand up compared to the X's.

for deep bass i would say the 15" type Rs would be better but sq and sql i would go with the type x only if they were properly powered.

15" Rs are = 750wrms

12" X = 1000wrms

so even though the 15 has it on cone area - IMO i'd give the slight nod to the X in overall loudness .......

not sure , i'd guess prolly come close but i'd choose 2 Rs if were me because why bother using 4 subs when 2 could = it & both combos would costs about the same ......

do register will u ...

i'd buy a single 15" RE SX & that'll (in a properly ported box) kill all 4 12s & would look even more impressive when u pop the trunk & ppl eyes bug out when they see a single sub that can do 140+ DBs .......

i thinking u realise that a RE re is = 175wrms but can safely handle 200/225 so 4 would = 800wrms & a SX = 1000wrms ,just 2oo above

but since its 4 show - i dig what u r going so i agree with the 4 cause it'll look good & i'm sure there r still alot of ppl out there who are not aware of RE's existance .

What amp r u gonna push those with ??? ......

alright thanks guys i think im gonna go for the 2 type x 12in not only will it save space but itll they have a much cleaner look imo. even though i dont have any carbon fiber on my car it still looks damn cool. how hard is it to dynomat? im thinking its gonna be a pain to rip out the trunk panel cause i have a jeep and the window defrost, wiper and read sound bar crap is powered thru that trunk panel so i dunno if i wanna spend time to figure out how to remove it.
