I believe Type S are the lower end of Alpines Subs, Type R is more renowned and Type X I believe are supposed to be the best. Kickers are renowned for just about every sub they make. All I ever hear is kicker is t3h g0d. I'm pretty sure you'll get answers that'll say the kickers are better.

yeah but you could get two kickers for about $120 and build a better box for another 40 bucks.

not a big fan of kicker... alpines always sounded better to me. Kickers seem to get louder though.

I have a type-s in my car right now. It's an older one and it's powered by an older MRP-M350. It's in an Obcon dual 12" box but my other sub broke itself so I just covered the whole with some mdf and now it's a big sealed box. I like it. It's not super loud like I have seen kickers get, but then again, i'm more of a sq dude. Don't get me wrong either, it can get loud.
I would say, sq-alpine spl-kicker.

I guess you have never seen the video of 2 12' Type S's hitting 150db , my single R hits 140 + (in a 6th order box none the less)

how loud they get will be more dependant on the box and the install then anything really. everyone on here is just going to tell you what your favorite is, go out and have a listen and see wich one sounds best to you.
