    What is the consensus around here about these two subs. considering sq and spl, which one overall is preferred?

    JL 12W3v3
    or
    Alpine Type-R 12"

    it all depends on what your looking for... Do you want hard hitting bass or more SQ bass?

    either one will sound good in the right box for them. it would boil down to budget i guess.

    well the reason i ask is because i have two of the jl's and am thinking of trading them in for a couple type r's. how much sq would i lose and how much spl would i gain with the type rs?

    why don't you just use the JL's and make a good box for them? what kind of box are they in now?
