My 2 type R system help! PLEASE!

[rawmaterial 10+ year member]

I have two 12 inch type r's in a sealed 28 w x 14 h x 14 d, i have a honda civic hatchback i have room for maybe one more inch width wise. what is the best thing that i can do to improve my spl. my subs are inverted right now, i have magnet on the outside of the box facing the ceiling, it looks better but i do not know if it makes it sound better. I dont care about SQ all i want is more bang for my ear!

Please help, if you dont have box dimentions i am willing to pay for help thanks!

I would turn the subs back around for one thing....you don't want gravity working against you. Try porting the box...or just make a better one...I'm assuming the one you have is prefabricated. Build one that is around 2 cubic feet each woofer, tuned around 34 hertz.

If he has the subs with the cone facing down, gravity is acting against his woofers, in the sense that they would reach their mechanical peak sooner than if they were mounted horizontally. If they were mounted with the cone facing up, gravity would be working against them in terms of output.....

I personally would rather have my subs at a small lack of output, than at a small risk of mechanical failure. But, if the woofers have as much compliance as you say, he probably has nothing to worry about.

thank you for your quick replies if i were to port them could i use the same box? but if he stated i need at least 2 cu ft, shouldnt i build a bigger box? but remember my box width cannot be bigger then 29.5 inches

and if i were to lay them flat so that the cone were facing the license plate and by putting the magnet in the sealed box would i get a better performence?

if anyone has box dimentions could you send them to mystikalxiceman@yahoo.com or that could help me out, the only size i am lacking is pretty much the width of the box, thanks!

is there such thing as a good 28 - 29 inches width ported box? how are you suppose to know how big the port has to be?
