that was one helluva rant you pulled there....anyway...plenty of subs out there that are durable enuff....but as ive learned the hard way a couple of times...it all depends on how you match your equipment ,,,as well as how you play your music,,,...that being said....i have never blown or come close to blowing a type r .....even though ive clipped em because of my amp and settings....but still worked as new.....so i like the alpine type r....its decent price.....but im sure others will have some useful advice so stick around.

OK, now that the mountain has popped its top off, (Mt. St. Helen) what is your desired goal for the new gear? (Obviously durability, reliability and the ability to take some extreme abuse and come back for more)
How much space do you have for the enclosure here? Are we thinking dual 12's or perhaps a strong 15"? There are several SPL subs that can do some serious bumpin, but prefer large ported enclosures. (Our in-house SPL guy.... 30 Hz.) would be a good source for ideas.
Also, how many amperes of current can your vehicle handle w/o biting the dust? This factor is important and most SPL guys know the need for strong power supplies to feed monster amps.
Say more to give a good "Big Picture" view of your next bass engine. Alpine R's are very good SQL subs and can handle a solid 500 Wrms per each. However, for serious SPL, they may not be the right animal in your rig.
