[QUOTE="rickcd, post: 1437683, member: 565430"] I've got a 2005 12 inch type-R which im running with an alpine mrp-345 amp. I wanted the whole thing to look custom to my car but didnt really fancy getting into fibre glass. When i started making it I hadnt really thought that the shape and dimensions of the box mattered that much to the sound quality. This isnt the actual enclosure but its a template i made of what it will look like [ATTACH]4637[/ATTACH] After reading a few of the threads in here im a bit worried that its not going to hit very low. For a start I dont know whether to make it ported or sealed, and theres no way of properly sealing the edges between the wood and the trunk. Im into hip hop so basically want the bass to hit as hard as possible, space isnt really an issue but obviously the smaller the better, and i really want it to look custom to my trunk, like i dont just want a box sitting there. Can anyone tell me if they think the enclosure im working on at the moment will work and give good bass, whether i should port it or not, if i should reverse mount the sub or just start again?
