It's hard to listen to people when it comes to buying subs sometimes. If you were able to hear the 2 in person, than it sure beats someone telling you what they are like. If you like the sound of the RF's better, than go with them. If you like the Type R better, than go with that one. It's all up to you and what you prefer. Remember, you are the one listening to it everyday, not everyone else!!

Listen to both and choose for yourself, it's the wisest decision. Your the one that has to listen to it, not us.

Try and listen to them in a car tho. any sub can sound ok in a store with the right box but when u put it in a car it sounds horrible.

im not completely set on those to brands but those are the ones i've been looking at the most... i want to be able to get 2 subs for around 200 dollars and have them be 500watts rms each or i was gonna get 3 RF's cause the punch were like 300 watts each but anyways in the store they had 2 RF's in one big ported box and the type R was only one 10 inch that was in a small sealed box so its hard to choice when they arent in the same type of box and its not the same number of subs... what else could i get that has good SQ for around 200? or should i stick with one of these?

Mr. Brown what else do you have in mind cause you make me think that there is something better out there for around the same price??

I wouldnt go with one over the other based on what you heard at best buy. Usually all the subs in best buy are in different boxes and even though there in the same generally area of the store some may have advantages over others based on location, such as close to a wall then the other. So there really is no way you can tell by listening to them unless it was in your car with the same type of box. Thats the only way to make a decent fair judgement.

Closer to the wall*** And who knows maybe the more expensive subs are rigged so that they actually do sound better then the cheaper subs to get you to buy them. I seriously wouldnt be surprized.
