ALPINE408 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I dunno about the type r but most 12's like 1 cube to 1.25 cubes sealed Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM9104 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 i thought type r's were built to be ported You sir are wrong. IH8PunkRok, From Alpine's site, they reccomend 0.85ft^3 per sub for optimum sealed enclosure for a 12" Type-R. http://support.alpine-usa.com/products/doc...M_SWR-1242D.PDF Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 24k miles Stock H/U and mids/highs Power Acoustik GW3-12" D2 Sub HiFonics BXX1200.1D @ 1ohm Random 2.5^3' dual ported box NVX LOC Stinger wiring throughout 1977 Chevy SWB Cammed 350 Dual exhaust Cheap Wish stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Night Long Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I've got one R in the woman's car with 600 or so watts to it and it pounds. If you want the box specs just let me know. The box is ported though, but that would be the way to go any way. The internal airspace is 1.7 cuft and won't be much bigger than a sealed box if size is an issue.
