is this ebay box good for a type r?

[waggs 10+ year member]

i have a 12" type r and i was wondering if this box would be a good match for my sub. i would build my own box but i dont have the time or tools to make one. if this box is not a good size is there anyone who can build one for me for a reasonable price? thanks in advance

That box looks nice but I wouldnt get it. Those pre fab boxes are usually tune high . So your subs are going to get loud but sound horrible.

that doesn't seem tuned too high to me.

But this isn't just any enclosure from any company. This comes out of our state of the art manufacturing plant in Texas -- not some "sweat shop" in China (like our competitors' products). Beware when shopping for an enclosure. It's not just something that "holds subwoofers".. the enclosure is extremely essential in a system's design.


We innovated the now popular "VENTED" design. Car audio stores are snatching these up because their customers simply can't believe the increase in bass. The "other guys" on eBay are selling cheap imitations. Even looking at their pictures you can tell they have no regard to quality. We are the only people selling enclosures on eBay devoted to high quality.

i say nay.

it is pretty sad they dont know what their own boxes are tuned to.

especially since they "innovated the now popular vented design"

Not to mention that they can't even proofread their auctions...

"Dimensions: 24" W x 15" D x 14.5" H"

Thats quite a wide port there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Presenting our all new single 12" slot ported subwoofer enclosure. Our engineers have merged our award-winning single 12" sealed platform with an innovative new "slot port" venting system. The air is channeled from the chamber down a left side slot port and out of the enclosure. This creates MASSIVE amounts of bass -- in fact, 350% more than the conventional "sealed" box, and 180% more than a conventional "bandpass" enclosure. If you want to make your subwoofer sound their best, then make sure you go with an enclosure like this to make use of it.

I find that part funnier. 350% more bass. And if you act now they will throw in a free pocket fisherman while supplies last //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if you need to get a prefab, get a) sealed b) probox or c) subzone.

i wouldn't trust a no-name ported box

probox and subzone list full specs of their box (that are actually accurate)

a company called audio enhancers does as well, but i have no experience with their build quality, and they're tuned pretty high.

Think Scott owens need to check into these . With 350 % more bass he would be hitting like 600db //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
