Louder Please

[conn.am 10+ year member]

Hey i just got my two type r's installed. I have a hifonics BXI2006 on them in a sealed box. What can i do to make my system hit harder. My amp is rated at 2000W. I know its overrated but it still should push the R's just fine. If i'd upgrage my box would that make them any louder. Ive read its all about the install so what makes a good install? Also what would be louder? Two 15's or Three 12's? Im asking because im not satisfied and i was thinking of buying another 12 to add. But then i was wondering if i just need to sell my two 12's and buy 15's. Thanks for any help.

Port it nd it will get alot louder....i suggest anywhere from 2.25 - 3ft3 @ 32-35hz per sub ported....

Okay but i want it to get crazy loud. Do i need to sell my subs for something new? Like maybe two 15's? Or maybe a different sub than the type R. This was my first system and ive only had it for a week. Im just not satisfied.

Im telling u porting them will b ur first step....if tht isnt loud enough then upgrade...type-r excel drastically in ported enclosures....

I drive a 1997 honda civic. I havnt done any measurements though. bjfish11 wants to build me a box : 5 cubes @ 34 hz. Is this unreal for a honda civic. He never said ported or sealed but i would like it ported.

Let him build it. Do a search for his name, check out his boxes. And while he is at it, let him set your gains, if he will. That is probably a good part of your problem, its not about "setting em half way".

Good luck

Didnt even check your states. alot of people have in state builders, just assumed. Either way, set your gains right. tutorial on JLaudio.com, and a link in the forum on the "gain setting tutorial" thread
