I have an Alpine 12" type R. I originally bought this sub and wanted to build a box for it but ended up throwing it in a q bomb ported prefab. Specs matched alpines recommended ported enclosure. It sounded okay in that box and I even tried a sealed. I feel like it has potential but the prefab box is holding it back. As far as I can tell from reading through forums. The alpine sub is not what it used to be? I don't want to give up on it. Is building a custom box for this sub still worth it? I like all music. But in my vehicle I want rap/ hip hop and rock and metal to sound great. I want good clean bass but still want to get low on some slappers? Will building a custom box tuned to say 32 -35 hz affect sound reproduction when I throw on some heavy metal?
