My Type-ARRGGHHH SPL box

[prochobo 10+ year member]

Box is 3 cubes tuned at whatever.

I screwed up the bracing a little though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif The front baffle braces were supposed to be aligned vertically, but I put the top and bottom braces in first and I did the the same way I planned to do the front/back braces. So I had to stagger the dowels a little as you'll see.

I would have added rounded PVC corners, but there's no room except 1 corner to do that.

LOL the glue for the second baffle.

Box looks too small for a pair of type-r's. Whats the specs on it? I'm hoping at least 2 cubes per sub. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Also, ports are WAAAAY too close to the subs.

I still laugh every time I see all these boxes popping up on ca.com that use external aeros firing to the side. TCAB anyone?

Let the flaming begin.

Yeah, that box is way too tiny for a pair of type-r's. At MINIMUM i would do 2 cubes per sub. I've built a 1 cube, 1.6 cube, and a 2 cube box for my 10", and it hated everything besides the 2 cube box.

Yes we will. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I may be wrong, but all the testing I've done says that the box will be too small and tuned to high. Type-r's have a SEVERE SPL roll-off past 50 hz in every situation myself and my teammates have tested in.

But hey, what works in your car may be different than everyone elses. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
