Pyramid.

Yeah, I agree with the previous posters who said tune it differently. Build a 2.0 cubic ft. box tuned to 32 hz from Moe Lester's plans. I have my Type R 12" in one of his boxes with 600 watts going to it and its freakin loud, especially for a daily. It's actually much more than I could even...

This happens to me on 97% of the cars I get out of. I just put my sleeve over my hand and shut the door by the glass. You can't get a shock thru glass, its an insulator.

Word. Two is plenty.

awesome song. good find. +rep

Well first off, is it caulked inside? There should be a white/clear residue on all the joints where the MDF meets. If not, you're definately going to want to do that. BUT if you do, be careful, silicone must cure for at least 24 hours before you can put your sub anywhere near that box. The...

I just built Moe's 2.0 cubic box for my Type-R tuned at 32hz. It is AMAZING. I used to have a sealed box and this thing blows it away in the SPL department. I'm only 16 and I built this box myself. His plans are idiot-proof, and he has a few variations for different spaces. Personally, I'd...

Word. The 12 inch with 600 watts is nice. I have the exact same set up (12" R with MRD-605) in Moe Lester's 2.0 cubic ft. box. Sounds loud, and the SQ isn't trashed either. Go for it.

Yeah Chevy, thats how I thought it should be wired. Thanks alot. Sorry about the crummy diagram, things got shifted over after I posted. I don't have the jumpers, so I can just use some 12 gauge, right?

I've had my Type-R sub for about 2 months now, and I had it professionally installed. It was in a sealed box, and I took it out b/c I built a ported box. Looking at how it was wired confused me beyond belief. I thought I had a grasp on what was going on, but now the Alpine guide seems to be...

Hey, I'm pretty new at car audio, and I just built myself a 2.0 cubic ft. ported box tuned to 32hz. I previously had a sealed box, and I want to know if I need to change my amp settings to compensate for the new box. Right now, I'm running an Alpine Type R 12" 4-ohm subwoofer off of an Alpine...

Use cheese cloth to get the dust off. It can be bought at any Home Depot/Lowes. But not at your local deli.

I absolutely LOVE this set-up, one Type-R is plenty for me, it bumps HARD! The burp only happens when I push it hard, like on a super-bass EQ on my HU. Other than that it's constant bass without a problem. You'll love it too, and if you have room to go ported, do it. I'm running sealed and...

Nah, its not really a horrible grinding...and no, I haven't checked my gains, what should they be set at? I'm a little new, so if you could bear with me that'd be great. I'm running a Pioneer head unit, and the sub started doing it today when the volume was at 40 out of 60. I've been taking it...
