Im lookin at subwoofers now, im considering Alpines Type R, Fosgates HE2 again, or else a CompVR. Unless anyone else has any good suggestions, but those are my main 3. Shall we compare? I have a single sub set up, so i need dual 2 ohm vc. Im running the subwoofer off a Fosgate 401s at 400wrms @ 4ohms.

You might want to check out the Orion line.  They offer quite a few options for what you are looking for, and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.  Personally, I have never liked the Fosgates.  I have known to many people that have had a lot of problems with them.  So, I would stay away from them if I was you.  Here is a site for the Orions.

i've got a pair of compvr 10's dual 2 ohm. they slam, i've got them in a small sealed box and i guarantee they hit every note low to high with perfect clarity.  these are probably the loudest subs i have ever had and i've had a lot of  different systems.  my last 3 have all been kicker subs. i went from 2 comp 12's to 3 comp 12's to 2 compvr 10's and the 10 are the loudest. although my amp is unbelievable.  it's 130 x2 @ 4 ohms and 1300 x 1 @ 1/2ohm.  

got with the compvr's man, they have a clean sound and slam too 

what!?!?! you want some??

I'm trying to make a similar decision for a single 12.  I  too am torn between the Type R, CompVR, and Pheonix Gold Tantrum.  The Alpine is by far the best for SQ, although the CompVR is better for SPL.  The Tantrum is in between, but only available in single 4 ohm VC, I want duel 2 ohm.  My only concern is if my amp is enough for the Alpine, which takes the most juice to jiggle!  Im like 90% for the Alpine, just have to make a final decision.
