[QUOTE="chartman18, post: 2367677, member: 570778"] Well, I finally got around to putting my Type-R in a single 12" custom 2.5cu.ft. at 32hz box with a Hifonics BXi 1606D amplifier. It sounds great with quality...but thats it. I was let down by the bass. I had to turn it up to 25-30 out of 45 on my volume to achieve where my 2 P1's were almost at with the P1's maxed out on gains and such. Im thinking about getting another Type-R or just a SPL subwoofer for bass. I have all the quality I want, now I just think I want bass. The Type-R I have now is firing into the cabin, seats down, whole car Dynamat'd, and when I get outside to test the bass/loudness, I was let down compared to the P1's I had. I could actually hear the P1's bass outside the car. I know I sound like a noob praising the P1's, but Im not praising that piece of shit (P1's). I just expected to have alot of bass too. So I guess some people were right about it being a Hype-R. And again, Im not bashing the Type-R, I love it for the quality and such, but I just cant help think if it will be better in a sealed box, bc the P1's were in a sealed, 1.25 enclosure each woofer, and it wanged with settings maxed (didnt care for them, so I maxed the gains) and each only puts out 300 watts max.
