Cool

Hi Guys,

I just removed my two PG Xmax 12" subs and bought 2 brand new Alpine 12" Type R subs for $250 each. BTW, is that a good deal? Anyways, I was thinking of returning those and getting 2 Rockford Fosgate 12" P3 subs for $300 each. Is that a good price? I auditioned both subs and the P3 was noticeably louder and deeper. Should I keep the Type R's or return them and get the P3's?

Get whichever one you like better ...

By the sounds of it, you really want the P3s, so I think you should go with those.

Alright, I'm returning my Alpine's tomorrow and buying the P3's. Is $300 each for the P3's a good price?

I would take the P3. I have a single 10" set up in a slot vented box in my store and it sounds nice. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
