Aren't type-R's sorta expensive?

A complete waste of money if you are going to do a baffle-board setup...

Might as well have bought some flea-market subs if you're honestly thinking of this setup.

you can build a good box for the same price as that baffle board... assuming you are buying a 4'x8' piece of MDF... and normally you HAVE to buy that big of a piece.

I had an MTX-made board once with 2 12" subs... it sounded like ***. Build a box!

my friend had bad results with his baffle board, especially after I punched him in the stomach and burned his house down.

my advice, don't do it.

or else.
