SUbs dont play deep bass

[duckfart]

I have two Type R 12's in a prefab vented box and they get loud but sound terrible I Get vertually no deep bass. I want deeper bass and better sound quality should I go with a big sealed box or get a ported box made for them ?

Since I've never heard type R's I will voice my input.

Get rid of the prefab box and make yourself a good ported box for them.

If I had any tools I would but as of right now I have nothing to work with .

buy some and how bigs the prefab box?

Members of the board will build one for you.

each sub gets about 1.5cuft each.. I get no deep bass maybe cuz the box is tune high or cuz is too small ?

[MisterGrubbs]

1.5^ft, before or after displacements?

It may be tuned too high, which would make the lows seem less loud

If you're after more SQ and lower bass, you could always try a sealed enclosure. You can build oen for around 35 bucks with all the materials, never hurt to try

Well my subs get loud but they just shake everything , tons of vibration but really no deep hard hitting bass.

you'll want at least 2 cubes ported to like 32-28 htz... I'd think. If you want low bass, you gotta have a big box.

Or you could just go sealed...

i have 2 12" type r's too in with about 1.5 cb ft a sub after diplacement at 35 hz and its gets pretty low

all about the box


Spend 35 bucks nad two hours of your time

Build a sealed box, see how you like it

Never hurts.

About how big does the sealed box has to be in order have nice deep bass?

You are having the same problem I am having. I get a hell of a lot of vibration but not alot of deep hard hitting bass. I have a 5.5 cubic foot box ported to 32hz.
