box for typeR

[emd2260 10+ year member]

just ordered my SWR-1242D. need a box...going into an 01 taurus...max dimensions roughly 38"W 30"D and the height is iffy,

my trunk goes from around 22" toward the back, front? (closer to the bumper) and drops to around 17" in the middle and 13"ish by the rear seats, not too picky on SQ or SPL....

thanks to anyone who has time to reply

heres a picture if my explaining isnt quite up to par:fro:

Are you wanting a box built, or just designed?

 

[emd2260 10+ year member]

well, i guess whatever is cheapest hahaha:laugh:

i've never built a box or even installed a system before...but my dad is quite the craftsman so..i think we could manage building it ourselves, if it would be cheaper, what do you think?

It would be a lot cheaper to build your own. Thats if you have the tools, time, and determination. It sounds like you will have the tools, and a knowledgeable person to help with the build, so I would go for it.

So if your looking for a design, hit up chris@fishercustoms.com. He can help you out.

Not to hijack the thread, but I'm thinking about getting rid of my POS setup really soon, and switching over to typeR's, and if someone could do a quick box for me, that's be awesome.

32 wide x 14-15 high x whatever deep, tuned to maybe 33-36, and obviously ported.

Also, if I get two 12" typeR's, at 500 RMS and 1500 peak, will I be able to power them with the generic 2000W amp I have right now? Atm it's powering two 12" dual 4 ohm audiobahns that run at 400 rms, 800 peak. Would I just be handicapping the typeR's if I ran them through this amp?

Box wise... go around 2.5 per sub tuned around 33 or so. You should be pretty happy with it.

Alright do you know of any designs other dudes have drawn up for similar builds?

And what about that amp I mentioned? Could I use it with the typeR's?

never used it, but knowing bahn's rep., i bet it sucks bad.

It's not an audiobahn amp, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it sucks.

OK! Now. What amp should I get to power two 12" typeRs?

We're talking like...300 absolute max here.
