R vs. P

As emp said, if you want loud go for the p3's.

Ya I definitely want loud. I listen to more rock than anything else so I want 'em to be good for the double bass too. I'm probably gonna go with P3's unless I decide T1's are worth the extra money.

the type-r isn't the loudest of the bunch, but it is one of the best sounding and most reliable subs in the mainstream.

p3's are good for the bump bumps, but i wouldn't buy em.

If this is what you are looking for, i'd go for the type r..

I listen to a lot of metal and the double bass is just wicked!
