Ive used the type r series subs in a bunch of cars, mainly for friends, but a few in customer's cars, all in all its one of my top recommendations for subs on a budget.  SQ is decent, I would not really consider it an SQ sub, but it sounds pretty clean for its price and output.  If you are looking for an all out sq sub then I would not recommend it, but if you are looking for something that provides solid amounts of bass with a very clean, smooth output then I consider it a great pick.

try the Type-R (SWR-1242d) with some more power.  the rockford P312d2  is a nice sounding sub,  if you want SQ you are going to have to pay for it,  both sub and amp.

I have a fosgate power 851s amp already, it sound nice and clear. So its 450 wrms per channel, i'm not sure if briging would be better to go with 900 wrms at 4 ohms into 2 subs or just 450 wrms into 2 ohms each sub??? any suggestions???

SQ a 4ohm load will sound better 2 ohm will be louder but not a lot and it loses some sq.. oh yeah and I love the Type R i have one and was under powerin it a lot and it still was good and loud with not much distortion

My personal opinion on the matter, and this is a very heavily biased one as I am a huge JL fan, would be to check out the w3v2s.  Im in the process of putting four of them in my car right now, and for an relatively low priced sub the sq is pretty much unmatched in my opinion.  Adire would also be a really good place to start looking, I have heard nothing but good things about their subs.

how dou like the rf components that you own?? I have the infinity kappas, have you heard them before, if so do you have a comparison??? I'll go with the 2 12's type R, but as you said probably go with 1.5 cu ft enclosure instead of 1 cu ft because thats what i heard from some people that it sounds much better. Thanks
