Tim Lam Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 inside look! made a complete rookie mistake, made the cut out exactly 12" and the sub slipped right through. so i used the mounts from the prefab box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Lam Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 JLM 35w 6000k HIDS (yes they look green in the pic but are pure white with a hint of blue) upgrading the highs on a budget Kicker DC35 Yup changed on the embarrassing blacked out hubs to 17" Tenzo R RS5 rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesyrup Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 looks good, except, that port looks way to small man, that will really effect your output levels I've built quite a few enclosures for those, Through experimenting I found you can put one of those in an enclosure that is about 3 cubic feet and have more output and deeper lows than 2 in the same cubic feet. had all 4 doors on my friends camery flexing.

Robby Holmes Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 aside from making the cutouts too big and port area, looks like a nice simple setup! quick question though, why the 1223's and not this years model?

purplesyrup Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ok the box was quite a bit bigger now that im looking at it. I think is was 3.25 tuned @36 or so heres a pic of it after we put a type X in it, but the type R was louder and performed better in this box because i designed it to the specsof the R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is was 3.25 tuned @36 or so heres a pic of it after we put a type X in it, but the type R was louder and performed better in this box. That box was in no way made for the type X at all. so a type r 12 was louder than a type x 12 in the same box and same power ? In this application, yes, but the box was carefully designed for the type R to reach full output, while maintaining good SQ if I had designed it for the X, I could have made it smash harder, but would need more power, and a smaller box for the type X, This box was way to big for it. you could tell it lost power handling. It all comes down to the box. we were using that 1,000w RMS alpine class D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobebassbudds Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Iv had lots play time with a type x wich is why i chose it over a w7 at the time cuz it was louder and equaly sound quality worthy in all applications i ran it thru so i dont see how a straight drop and play from a type r to an type x that the type r was better in this scenario no matter what box design Edit: op build looks good 2 12ks and i dont know what to do build in the works!

Now another thing to keep in mind, this was from the current models 6 or so years ago, i am sure they have changed a lot since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
