I want to build a new box for my 12'' Type R because the box that it's currently in doesn't sound so great with a lot of music/songs...
It's in something like 2.5 cubes tuned @ 32-35hz... I forget the exact specs of the box, I think it's one of the free box plans from the sticky thread.
It hits lows really well, but i swear anything but extremely low notes it hits like ****!! theres also weird terrible sounds when theres a hard bass kick, i don't know if this is port noise or what? i'm not talking bass kicks from rock music but in hip hop music, it's hard to explain, it just doesn't sound right.
Any suggestions on box size or tuning for a 12'' type r? also any opinions on why it sounds bad with bass kicks, almost sounds distorted but it's not distortion, i think it's port noise, maybe i need to throw a 45 in the corner of the port?
It's a 12'' type r running on 500rms, mrp-m500
It's in a 2003 kia spectra, sub facing trunk lid... the bad sound i get with certain songs is kind of a flappy noise, like something is sitting in front of the port or something...
SUPER annoying, I love SQ bass, so this sub not sounding good is driving me nuts
I'm thinking about trying 2.0cuft @ 35hz
here's my current box
Thanks for any help, I appreciate it, if my post is unclear let me know, I can't explain some of these things very well.
