Will, post a thread on www.elitecaraudio.com. I have a feeling you will get more responses there. My personal feeling is that the W6v2 stomps all over the Type Rs in every aspect. I'm sure many others will agree.
My opinion might come off as a bit biased though since I am selling a W6v2.

both are great sounding woofers if sq is your primary objective, type r's for some reason take a ****kicking on this site. you also have to remeber that a type r is around 200$ and i think the jl is near double that. ask the people here that responded if they have had the chance to use both in a sq oriented system and litened to them. i have, and both were very good sounding woofers and would have a tough time choosing between the 2

The W6v2 sounds the same as the W7 up to 500W. Plus, the W6v2 has a very similar build quality to that of the W7. Excellent quality [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
I have seen many negative posts around the forums about the build quality of the Type Rs, yet I don't recall ever seeing one about the W6v2, or the old W6 for that matter.

so youve never heard both in a proper sq setup, yet feel you are qualified to make a recommendation based on other peoples opinions. what were the specific build quality issues that youve heard. im not a huge alpine woofer fanatic, but like to call people on their "opinions" and how they developed their opinion
