A local customer would like an enclosure for 6 alpine type r's. I know alot of people have played around with alot of different set-ups with type r's on here so i figured i would get some opinions. It going to be a daily driver, wants spl. I was thinking ~ 18 cubes @ 32-34hz? anyone have any other opinions?

Thanks

Type Rs jam in a bandpass.

not sure if i would do that 18 cubes...i would go for around 13-14 after displacement....and bandpass would be sweet.

I would do bandpass, BUT i don't do bandpass designs. I was just thinking 18 cubes @ 32 with a massive slot port... opinions?

2.25ft^3 net per argggggg and your good!

alright. I was thinking 18 because I'v messed around with arrggg's and they like big boxes, and sound good in 3 cubes. Maybe 14-15 cubes @ 34 same chamber box will be something a little better? Just trying to get some other opinions fellas. Thanks.

Those are AA subs, what's your point here?

Contact, as he said, 80 inches as he does pretty good designs(although I think he's avoiding audio lately)

And if you have room for the bandpass, do it.

They do like big boxes. but they sound worse and worse bigger you go, louder they get. 2.5 each is a good number to start with, i liked mine tuned to 35.

i know what you mean about BP. BUT, the guy is paying me $10 for a design so it would be kinda pointless because I would not make any money. But, I am starting to design band pass's soon.

too big in my opinion 12-15 cubes.... 3 cubes per 12 is a little big, i'd say more 2-2.5 per
