Ok I recently got rid of my 10" Brahama //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif because i needed the money and needed a sub for my car so i went with a 10" type-r! would anyone recommend me using a type-r with a ported box or should i go with sealed?

yea...they are a predominatly sq sub...will probably sound best sealed....good luck

any of the new alpine gear sounds bad ported

but it can be done just at a cost to power handling and sq but sealde soounds much better

I guess if you say they are sq subs than sealed is the way to go, but i m curious i would try it anyway //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

i had 2 12' type R's sealed then i went ported they hit soo much better (SPL wise) but you do loose the SQ so one trade off for the other, the local shop here recommend i go ported too buts its up to you. the R;s can take ported look at that premade Alpine box for them the Red one its ported is it not?
