Gold Member Username: Sploosh56Ohio Post Number: 1438 Registered: May-04 | type R would win in both sq and spl in my opinion i'm just disgusted with these new rockford subs. i miss the old ones |

|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 50 Registered: Jul-06 | just take your P3's back to audio works. if you got receipt. they probably give in store credit like most places, and you can get the type r. probably a little more expensive than gettin one off ebay, but if you dont want the P3's then who cares. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 51 Registered: Jul-06 | i'll trade you a Directed Audio Viper 1200.1d for your two P3's. this amp will be more than enough power to get your R's rompn.. r the P3's 12's or 10's. |

Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 54 Registered: Jul-06 | What amp. |
|
Gold Member Username: Sploosh56Ohio Post Number: 1441 Registered: May-04 | all of the kids that have bought any of the punch series subs have had the cones crack on them |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 55 Registered: Jul-06 | r u atleast running 600 watts rms, to each sub. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 56 Registered: Jul-06 | mine haven't, even though i'm getting better subs tomorrow but i still like the P3 |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 242 Registered: Sep-05 | a bahn a8002t... ported 4.3 cuft box both subs are in same chamber |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 58 Registered: Jul-06 | well there's your problem on trying to get what you want out of those subs. what you got it wired at 2 or 4ohm, and do you got the dual 4's or the dual 2's P3's |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 243 Registered: Sep-05 | have dual 4s wired at 2 ohms one into each channel... theyr each gettin prolyl aorund 360-370rms....i bought the amp b4 i bought the speakers.... |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 59 Registered: Jul-06 | even if u got those P3's wired at 2 ohm your probably only getting like 275rms to each, give or take on chargin system, cause bahn sucks. i upgraded my alt and runnin 1 ga JL wire, a Mobile Spec cap to smooth out the power curves, and my P3's are running at 1ohm with a Viper 1200.1d. tuned to 36hz, and it hits hard. I'm going to disagree with everyone sayin the Type r is better than the P3. might have a little more rms, but the r's cant handle as much as the P3's. The P3's are rated at 400rms, and i know my 10's can run 600rms easily. Never had a cone crack, never had a problem at all. my amp is the key. doesnt get hot, and the sound is clean. The only thing the type r has on P3 is SQ, but i'll bang a Type R in SPL anyday. |

Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 244 Registered: Sep-05 | p3s rated at 500rms... |

Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 61 Registered: Jul-06 | im talkin bout my 10's |

Bronze Member Username: Sofakingcool2007Post Number: 24 Registered: Jul-06 | I have owned type r's and P3's I would say the type r's are louder if you feed them 500wrms but the P3's can handle more power then the type r's giving them more potential. once you exceed a type r's rms they seem to crap out quickly. I would save my money and buy a rockford T1 ..they too are comparable to type r's but I like the T1's more |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThebufromncRockwell, NC Post Number: 62 Registered: Jul-06 | are you crazy, just because the T1 is rated at 600rms, how do you compare the power series to the Type r. The T1 can easily take 900 rms like a fat kid eatin cake. comparing the Type R is retarded, thats like saying the P3 is comparable to the P1. wow. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sofakingcool2007Post Number: 25 Registered: Jul-06 | the T1 is comparable to the type r ..at least my T1's and my Type R's were similar. putting them at the same wrms produced about the same sq and spl. I do agree that the T1's can get louder than the type r's but you would need a bigger amp. running the T1's and Type R's off the same amp would produce equally good results, and since the type r is cheaper, you might go that route.. I did say I like the T1's better though |

Bronze Member Username: Robman0079Post Number: 94 Registered: Jun-06 | Jay knows what hes talkin bout here. Definitley go with the P3's. My 2 12inch P2's are way louder(more SPL) than one Type R (type R's have better SQL). I traded my Type R for 2 P2's and i dont regret it at all. The only prob is havin to wear them in. Once you get them worn in they sound amazing. I would ditch that audiobahn amp tho. Sell your amp and your Type R and get this: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=359 I would call to check and make sure they have this amp in stock first. |
