I am torn between getting 2 12" Type R's or 2 12" Perfects. Does anyone have any experience with them ? I am looking for a sub that I can get for around 150 each that is mostly an SQ sub but can still get loud.

I'm an infinity guy so guess what I'm pickin'?  I love my Kappa.  It's a single 10" in a sealed box and it hits harder then a pair of pioneer ported 12"s (not the nice ones but they have twice the power that mine is running).  But then again I've heard the Alpines and they are nice.  I would go with two 10" (or 12"s if you like the larger sub) in a sealed box with about 500 watts running to them.   I promise that they will rock the car/truck/van/suv/whatever with big spl and keep sq at a level that many subs barly do at their optimal levels.

My vote is for the Infinity, but I'm biased. I have 1 12" KP and I love it to death.

it's all a matter of opinion...go with what your ears like...i've had a lot of personal experience with every line that alpine, infinity, and jl have to offer and with one line of eclipse speakers before...and all in different enclosures also...but when it comes down to it none of these speakers are better than the others...its just a matter of which is best for you...both of the speakers you mentioned are well respected...but if you tell us what amp you are going to be using and what enclosure you have in mind we will be able to give you more advice than opinions...

What am i supposed to say, , , Alpine is the best bla bla bla??    Iv heard both subs in the same vehicle, and i could honestly tell no difference.

Go with what ever one you desire the most basically.

for the prices?  JL runs (except for the w0) higher then infinity or alpine.  Now given JL subs have normally better sq, they do run about $50 more (perfect vs w3v2).  It's all up to what it's worth to the buyer.  If he wants to pay $170 for each sub and get some great sq then yeah but if he needs something more price efficient then the alpine and infinity offer great speakers for an even better price.  Sorry for the soap box but that's my $.02
