[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 6750"] HI all, Wonder if you audio freaks could help me with a little planning. I am looking at getting a single Alpine 12" TypeR (SVC) and push it with a MTX 6500D 4ohm mono to 250. My question is, I would like to put it in a Subzone sealed 12 inch Z-box. [URL="http://www.subzoneusa.com/12_inch_singles.htm"]http://www.subzoneusa.com/12_inch_singles.htm[/URL] The Alpine type R's say they should run in .7 - 1.0 cu volume sealed.
