b-dubs89 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 if you have the time and the means to build one your self you could do better for the money . the biggy is finding what specs to build you box to . what i know of the type r's from my experience would make me want to tune on the higher side if doing a ported box with the goal being a flat response , but i am not for sure on the tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkolfo4 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 No way I would buy a ported box from those guys. I have a sealed box from them. It is decent - I bought it for much less than their website price. I called and asked them about the net volume of the ported box, and the guy said it is the same as the sealed box. I asked how, and he let me know their port design is part of the airspace and does not displace from the net volume. Just read their vent info and you can see they are lost when it comes to ported boxes: http://www.rtboxes.com/labyrinth-slot-venting/ I like how their design uses both the push and pull motion of the woofer by letting sound escape from inside the chamber. All I can say is "wow" Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

bassface Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah those boxes on that site are tuned at 40 and 44hz which is way too high to sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEvil Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 ... I lol'd MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
