[QUOTE="Guaio, post: 6824682, member: 622364"] Hey everyone. So here's the deal. I've been in the car audio game for quite a few years, but I'm no expert, I'm just an average Joe that's learned through trial and error.Over the years I have swapped out components with other components, subs with subs, boxes with boxes, but I've never tried a ported enclosure before. I've even built a few fiberglass enclosures, but all were sealed, and the first thing I'd always hear when I open my trunk is: "Dude, you shoulda gone ported"...so here I am. I've read several threads throughout this very informative forum and learned of the hundreds of designs that ported boxes come in, but I also noticed many variations in the cubic area that these Type R's should be in. So with this thread, I'm hoping you guys can finally give me a straight forward answer as ta what dimensions my ported box should be, so I can start building it. Alpine say's each chamber should be around 1.7 cubes each, but everyone on here suggests ta go up ta as big as 2.4 cubes each. So here's some of my stats ta help you guys out: Subs: Two Alpine Type R's (500W RMS Each) Amp: MTX X1000D (500W x 2 RMS @ 2 Ohms) Trunk Space (At Most): 50" Wide 16" High 20" Deep Preferred Tune: 31-35Hz Music I listen too: Mostly Hip-hop/Rock Seats can fold down I looked at the thread with the multiple enclosure designs, and found the closest one I could: [URL="http://img35.imageshack.us/i/45cubes30hz60sqin5qi.png/"]Imageshack - 45cubes30hz60sqin5qi.png[/URL] Would this work??
