I had two 12" type-R's in my civic before they got stolen. They were good subs! They pounded hard and got the job done for a great price. No complaints here.

have a 12" alpine type r sub and i love it. i also have the component speakers all around but i feel that there's not enough mid-range but that could be due to my setup.

what about the Type S..I was leaning more towards those anyway,and what size for the front doors?..Also I was looking @ the SBR-S102V/SBR-S122V which is the Type-R in a vented box. Anyone have experience w/these?

i have two alpine type r subs, they're good for the price, and spl, i had to turn my amp down because i thought it was gonna mess up my trunk hinge, as far as for interior speakers, i think i want a little more clarity than the alpine speakers, im probably going to put pioneer interior speakers in the door and rear deck

I also like Type R, my brother has 1 12" in the BMW, and it hits. If you want 1 12", I would go with Type X. For the interior speakers, I wouldnt just go with any Pioneer, if its the high brand of Pioneer ( I forgot what's it called ), then thats fine. Other than that I wouldnt because the design of it. Had some before in the old car, wasnt impressed that much.

yea for one i would also go with type x, but i got two 12's for $100 so it was a deal, as far as pioneer speakers, in my old civic coupe i had pioneer ts-a1681r 6.5in in the front and ts-a6991r 6x9 in the rear i loved the sound quality of it

I had 2 type R 10" in my trunk and they sounded great together. However, due to space issues, I only have one 10" now. It still sounds good with just one, but awsome with 2!
