logspace Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 I have 2 12" Alpine Type R subwoofers. They are the older model (SWR-1242D). I am looking to put them in a sealed box. Alpine recommends using 0.57-1.0 cubic feet per sub for a sealed enclosure. Is this total box volume, or after sub displacement. How much space do the type R's displace? Can anyone give me a definative answer on the box volume? I can't seem to find a straight answer. Thanks
garrett30 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 the cu.ft. is after displacement of the sub so lets say your sub is .2cu.ft. then you need 1.2cu.ft. per chamber. I had these models r's as well and i believe that the sub displacement for each is .123 cu.ft.
Joe X Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 It says gross so is before subtracting driver displacement.
