Does the enclosure seem to big? Alpine Type R 12.


Recommended Posts

At that size, the power handling of the sub would be dramatically reduced, the sub may well perform much like it were in an infinite baffle.

Good point.

I also designed one that I will double check with Torres Calculator but is supposed to be 2.3ft3 and tuned to 32hzs. How do you guys think that would run? I can post pictures if wanted

With the power you running just make the box slightly larger than recommended and you will be fine. So nothing over 2.5cubes

1.75 is what i would do. you want a sub that gets low get the Fi sp4

Oh believe me, I'm saving for a bigger amp & subs. Money is My issue.

This is the box I have now, it sounds good and gets loud but I just think this sub has more potential

Most definitely, as that enclosure is but a generic design meant for reasonable performance with a wide range of subs, it's not designed with that Type-R in mind nor your wants. A custom built enclosure is always going to perform better than a prefab.

its a prefab with not enough port. build one with bigger port and you will be happy. it looks like the port is 1 inch lol

Don't get me wrong you can here it coming up the street but like I said...
