Im struggling to decide between two 12" Type-R woofers in a ported box, or one Type-X 12" in a ported box...What would you do?  Which do you think would dish out deeper bass?

Blowing up in a car accident doesnt worry me, as long as I'm putting out some major dB's when I die...

If you're seriously interested in "deeper" I'd go with a single 15" type R if you can fit it.  I'm not a big fan of the Type X in general, I just don't think the perfromance justifies the cost.  Just my opnion though.  A pair of Type R 12" in a ported enclosure with the right amp makes for a nice setup IMO.

Single Type-R 12" in a groundshaker ported box running on a Kenwood KAC-9102d....Sound like a winning combination?
