snyper99 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) i have a similar question,i have a 99 grand prix and i just bought two of the type-r 12's and im wanting to get a ported or slotted box tuned around 32ish(this is what ive read other people tune their boxes at) but i dont want to take up the entire trunk with a box so i was looking for a pre fab box that would leave me some room and i found these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7509_S...Box-+2SV12.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7516_S...ox-+2SBV12.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7854_S...x-+2SSV12.html# http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=004 or possibly two of these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7498_S...Box-+1SV12.html or would i be better off getting a box built,if so can some one give me some dimensions to work with,i can make it my self but i just need some dimensions.i listen to mostly spanish music but i also listen to older rap(tupac,geto boys,nwa,too short,etc.) or would i be better off putting them in the sealed box i currently have which is this one http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7604_S...-+2H12-1.5.html Edited November 19, 2007 by snyper99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snyper99 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I got 2 - 12" Type R's tuned around 36 hz.I cant recall the measurements tho... its a pretty big box tho... 36 x 16 x 24 and port is 3 inch wide i was on another site and those guys over there swear that these woofers sound better in a sealed box, btw i have a 99 grand prix with the fold down center piece in the rear seat that gives acces to the trunk.

SPLGEO Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 they need about 2.7-2.6 before displacement of the subs, i found that size box works best Quote 1995 Geo Prism .

AlpineGuy87 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 was that sealed or ported? ported. SPLGEO actually designed the box i have and i'm pretty sure thats what my box is. It sounds GREAT!!! honestly! I wouldnt seal these thangs up, it sounds like crap!! well compared to ported especially like mine. box is huge too Quote 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
