What Alpine Type-R to get?

I am hearing very good things about the Alpine Type-R on the board here and other places. The question is........ Which Type-R is the best? I look on e-bay and they have a few different product numbers for the 12''s. Which one is the one to get though? Thanx!

the numbers for the 12" subs are 1221 wich are dual 2 ohm voice coils, and the 1241 are the dual 4 ohm voice coils. One is not really better that the other it just depends on how many subs and amps you plan on running.

IMO if you were gonna run two DVC subs off 1 amp I would go with the dual 4 ohm voice coil subs. You'll have plenty of wiring options with out dropping the ohms too low.
