how do type r s compare to w3s

Not very well, they are completely different subs. Personally at the price they are at I wouldn't buy either.

The w3's have much better sound quality, but the type r's get whole lot louder.

SIs there any subs comparable in their price range that can get loud and sound good too?

I've never had a type r, but I did own a 12w3 and it did sound pretty good, and it got decently loud, but I upgraded to a 12" rlp which definitely sounded better and got louder...

If this wasn't the question of every day about 5 years ago I don't know what was......

But I don't have experience with the new versions of either model. How much do they cost? That will give us a better estimate of what's in a comparable price range.

About $250 for 2 12" Type Rs and about $300 for 2 12" W3s

if you want it to sound good and get loud why not just get a fi q in a sealed box

What are your goals?

How would a Q sound in a ported box. I just dont want to run to many watts because im not sure how long im keeping this car so i dont want to upgrade the alt and run a battery.
