You'll like it and be happy with 1 sub. 1 12" Type R is like the borderline from hearing ur music or just feeling bass. If that makes sense... LoL

for those of you that bashed me or called me a follower for having a type r, **** you.

i'm sure you didn't spend 300 dollars on your fist sub, and i'm also sure that you didn't just go to a subwoofer store and just pick out anything.

this is my first sub, i wanted it to be better than a meijer sub, and i didn't feel like spending 300 dollars on a sub only to find out that a sub in my car wouldn't be as appealing as i thought it would be.

i asked for peoples opinions, and i don't see any problem with buying a type R as my first sub. for all you know, in a month i will realize i want a better sub and i'll buy one, but you have to start somewhere. so once again i'll say **** you to all the bashers.

as for the box, i don't really think it's prefab, but i didn't build it myself. i don't know what it's tuned at, or the cubic feet or anything, because as I stated, i'm ordering a box from a boxmaking company online, but i didn't really feel like waiting a month until i could install my sub. i paid the same price for the sub and the box, as i would've paid for the sub alone with shipping from onlinecarstereo.com so i figured why not.

and for anyone that was supportive, i'd like to say thank you. i'm getting it installed tomorrow, and yes i'm getting it installed in a car audio shop because i'm not yet educated in amplifier installation and subwoofer installation(so **** you naysayers again) and i'd rather have someone do it proffesionally and pay them for it, then do it myself and **** up all my new equiptment.

it's going in a 1991 Mazda 626, and after i get it installed i'll take pictures of it, and i'll try to post them before work, if not i won't be able to put them up until around 6am eastern time.

if the box is tuned to high and you dont set the ssf, say bye bye type r //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

another follower

apparently excelerater builds all of his own subs, boxes, amps, wiring and speakers all on his own. because everything he has in his car must be completely original. Otherwise that would make him a hypocrite for calling me a follower, but at the same time buying a product that several thousand people probably owned before him.

i would just like to give you a big thumbs up excelater. it must be very hard to build everything by hand, but not all of us have the knowledge or free time. you're my hero.

/sarcasm

it's people like you that push people away from hobbies.

ssf means what bimma?

 

[SPL 10+ year member]

SSF = Subsonic Filter....Basically from my understanding you put it at or around your box tuning freq. so that if any notes are played below tuning freq. your sub will not bottom out and BLOW UP! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

subsonic filter. doesnt let the sub play frequencies below the tuned frequency. Its on your amp, and im pretty sure that the orion has it.

grrrrrrrrrreat first setup man.

 

[yne721 10+ year member]

and what if i don't know what my box is tuned at? how do i figure that out?

should i just have them set the ssf at like 40ish since once of the earlier posters said they would bet the box was tuned in the high 30's?
