It is going to depend on whether you want just big, loud bass with no sq (the MA Audio) or a nice SQ sub with some SPL (Alpine Type R). I have heard both and the MA's definatly hit harder but they were off when it came to SQ. The Alpines sound really nice with a good amp and can get fairly loud but they won't crack your skull open with their bass.

whats SQ and SPL mean im sorry im new. So alpines hit less but are better in terms of quality and MA is just plain loud? which would you guys prefer?

It all depends on what you like. If you listen to a lot of bass heavy music like rap and like to have all of that loud, heart stopping bass than the MA audio is for you. But if you want good Sound Quality and a bit of SPL than get the Alpines. The Alpines handle about any kind of music pretty well.

SQ means Sound Quality

SPL means Sound Pressure Levels or in other words how loud it is.

one last question, sorry for all the questions, but what about actual quality of the subs themselves? would they last?
