Hi, I am currently running 2 12" Alpine R Types running of a Boss amp. (yes, I know) My girl friend wants a system she knows little to nothing about car audio just wants a little bump. So, in deciding what to keep and what to give to her, what would do better SPL-wise in the right enclosure, a 2 12" R types or 2 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch Hx2's. Lemme know what you think guys, thanks.

I'd go with the Type-R's. What kind of Boss amp is it? Even though its BOSS, Boss does have some pretty decent amps.

Keep the Type Rs and get an mtx or jbl 600 watt amp off ebay, anytime you make a lateral move (although id rather have the type rs) its a loss with stuff like this because you cant sell used stuff for what you paid

if she just wants a little bump you could even sell one of the type rs or trade it for a decent 300 watt amp and slap the one type r in a spec ported box

The hx2's will have more spl, but they won't have the sq as the type R's will. Sense it is going in your girls car, I'm guessing sq will be better.

Exactly, don't listen to what anyone tell's you!
The hx2's will be louder, no question about it!
I've heard the type R's, they sound good, not as loud though.
I have 2 hx2's with 400 watt's to each, I will garantee they will git louder, they may not sound as good, but you wanted spl.
The type R's are a good sub, it won't be a big difference if that is what you are thinking.

the type rs will give you better sound and will on the same level as loudness as the punch hx2s a jbl 600.1 would be a great cheap amp to run just make sure the impedence of the amp and the sub(s) coincide.
