Well that should fill in the bottom end nicely.

Good God that is going to shake your brains out in a regular cab. I had one in an old Z24 Cavalier when they first came out and it hit so hard i wasn't able to talk to the person next to me.

You didn't have one of these...the first small shipments hit select stores about 3 days ago.
The W6v3 is supposed to close the gap between W6v2 SQ and W7 output.
I've had both of those subs...it'll be fun to compare them.

When you get it installed, post some pics of where that fits in a regular cab... I've got an R/T also and would love to fit a sub in but not sure where it could go. Thanks!

It'll go anywhere you want it to...it's only 7.5" deep. There's way more room than that to work with back there.

This will hit hard if its anything like the W6v2 and with clean power it'll get pretty close to the type r's you have.

Different animals. The Type R is a boomy, non musical bass head driver. Sorry...not my cup of tea. The W6's are world class SQ subs. Very detailed, transparent and musical.
One costs 150 bucks...the other costs 700 bucks. There's a reason.
The only sub I've had that compared to a W6 was a Morel Ultimo.
If you want loud...buy a W7. A single 13W7 would annihilate a pair of Type R 10's.
W6's are very SQ oriented with the ability to get loud if you want but that's not their primary target customer.

You can't compare Alpine subs to JL subs. I would put my W3's up against the type r's. I've had both. And the JL subs had all around better sound.
