nicholask1993 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Next time Best Buy has the Alpine Type R's BOGO I'm going to pick up a pair of the D4 ones for my 99 Corolla. I know that there is better out there but I'm trying not to spend to much since I'm getting a new vehicle in a year or so. Right now my Corolla has all stock electrical and I have some Dual 12" subs in a "band pass box with a Dual 470w amp wired with some 6ga wire. My plan is to get an Optima Yellow Top and do the Big III before getting anything so i have a decent electrical system. Then once that is done in going to get the Hifonics Brutua BRZ-1200D from Audio Savings with a 4ga wiring kit. That way I'll be able to upgrade my wiring and amp since on 4ohms it does 600w which is the max rms for the subs/box I have right now. Then I'll just need to get the Type R's and build a box for them and I'll be set. I solely listen to Dubstep and Hip-hop no rock or anything like that so I want to tune low. Would it be worth the trouble of sealing the box to my cabin or just have them facing backwards toward the trunk? Also what he would you recommend I tube my box to and sq. of port area?

Tune the box to about 33-34hz with 12-16"^2 per cube. A nice ported eclosure firing toward the rear should be plenty loud enough for that setup.

6berry Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Would it be worth the trouble of sealing the box to my cabin or just have them facing backwards toward the trunk? Also what he would you recommend I tube my box to and sq. of port area? I am a fan of forward facing box sealed off from the trunk but it doesn't really matter either way. for hip hop and dubstep i would say tuning your box around 30-33 would be good. for port area just use between 12-16 sq in of port per cube Quote 1999 Audi A4 1.8T::: 4 - DC Level 3 10's in a 4th order Rockford P6002 on Subs for now (3-3.5k coming eventually) MB Quart ONX4.60 for Mids and Highs Boston S50 Components in Front Boston S65 Coaxials in Rear 40 Sq Ft of Second Skin Damplifier Build Thread UBL 1948 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to check out the rockford punch stage 3's. I'm a little biased cause I am a fan of rockford and not anything at best buy but if you go to a car audio shop they have buy one get one on them all the time. At least the ones around here do.

Was cheapest I found in the whole 2 mins i spent looking. Of course you could probably get even cheaper bidding or elsewhere.
