[QUOTE="Trancer, post: 7631803, member: 544448"] I'm assuming you meant to say ported instead of sealed in your wording in bold above. Generally, you can send more wattage to subs if they are sealed and less if they are ported. Ported boxes are more efficient. But hey, like I said, if you are happy, then thats all that matters. Maybe later on down the road, you will want to change it up and now that you have a complete build under your belt, you could always go with two 10" subs ported. Its car audio man, it happens all the time; people changing up their system. Its addictive. Also, you said that in his car, it was louder, but didnt sound as great. Do you know what his box was ported to? Reason I ask, is because I'm surprised that the SQ would go down that much for you to say that. The Type R 12's really shine and are designed for a low tuning. The lower the tuning, the better they sound and I mean that both in loudness and sound quality. When I ran my 2 Type R 12's, I believe I tuned it to 31hz. And yes, you read that correctly, they are louder the lower in tuning you go, within reason obviously. I had my Type R 12's in a 35hz tuned box with the same box volume and it was no where near as loud as my box with the tuning of 31hz. Normally, you would tune a box higher for SPL competitions, but for the Type R's, they really hit those high DB numbers at a lower tuning. And thanks for the compliment on my truck.
