From my experiences, in the right enclosure, a Type R will walk over a P3
-------------
'89 Mercedes-Benz 300E
Pioneer DEH-5900UB
(2)RE Audio SX 10"s
(1)US Amps MD3D
3ft^3 @ 37Hz
Blowing up in a car accident doesnt worry me, as long as I'm putting out some major dB's when I die...

how loud are you looking for and how much do you want to spend? the type r are really musical and have really good sound quality. i have two rockford p2 and they are really nice.

??? How was that a broad answer? I don't know anything about SQ or SPL or anything like that so I'm not going to say thats what I'm looking for if I don't even know what it is. If you're not going to contribute and help me without being rude about it, then don't even bother replying.

Type R will kill the P3 in sound quality and in OVERALL QUALITY...Rockford Punch subs are just plain crap

I don't think that last statement made by the azn invasion there is quite accurate. Might want to repost the question again with some more info. Why only these two particular drivers for example? Is the goal to get loud or to sound good? What amp is going to be used on the sub? What sort of space do you want to give up for the box? Are you building a box or going prefab? Too many variables and not enough answers. I can tell you don't buy the Alpine because it has a funny colored cone and that makes it sound bad. Rockford has had some real shat speakers yes, the P3 is not one of them. Neither is my personal choice of speakers, I would choose a speaker that I know has a predictable outcome for the task at hand.

The amp is going to be a Kenwood KAC-X812D. I'll be custom building the box and I plan on taking up all of the cargo room. The reason it was between those subs is because I can get a good deal on either one. I'm going for loud but I'd prefer it sound somewhat decent at loud levels while trying to stay under the $250/sub category.

*edit* going to also throw in an Infinity Perfect Series (12d VQ)

Since you threw the Perfects in, my vote is for them... Best overall woofer of the three, as far as I am concerned, and they WON'T require the use of your whole cargo area...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I never have liked rockford for subs, I like the Type Rs but since u said Infinity.... the perfects get my vote as well

Okay okay....from my experience with listening to the alpines vs the P3s the alpines sounded a lot better.
But the Punch series dustcaps are crap...brittle plastic...yes they can get loud but the dustcaps aren't their strong point
