Does the Type R have 3-inch excursion and a phat magnet?

no competition!

Personally, i dont care what any 'alpine' fanboys might say, but i'd never buy an Alpine product over an equivalent Boston Accoustics product.
It's like comparing a camry to an E-class Merc, it just don't work

um this is a bit of an unfair comparison considering the price differences of the 2 subs i think G2 versus Type R and G5 versus type X might have been a bit fairer on the the alpine products, and im aware the boston products would probably still be the pick between the two. And no im not an alpine fan.

forget price difference, they are just on different planets for comparison...

I'm confused!
A camry is almost identical to an E-class Merc, why won't it work?

Almost identical? In what way? They both run on rubber tyres?

I'm guessing thats sarcasm at work ? lol
if not then i guess a few issues like:
1) refinement
2) technology and innovation
3) safety
4) performance
5) handling
6) braking
7) status
resale value9) apperance
10) cabin ambience
11) RWD vs FWD
In fact, i think its easy to say what is comparable then what isnt.. i.e. they both area similar size, have four doors, have an engine, and are built in a factory
