i have searched the type r sticky but can't find the answer to this.my question is i have 2 12" type r's and i was going to put them in a downfiring box that is 1.5 cf per side.it is a little bigger than alpine specs call for but i already built the box for some kicker cvr's and it sounds great with them.i know everyone is gonna say go ported but i don't have the room to do it right.thanks for any comments

theyll be fine.. maybe a little bottom heavy and maybe not as tight but you can always put some extra wood or something in the box to displace some extra space.

I am sure they will be fine. You may want to back the power down a bit. You can always add mass to the inside of the box if you dont like how they sound in the bigger box.
