rsd 12" vs. type R 12"

how many cubes did you have it in? Same box? How was the box built lots of bracing, ported/sealed? Stuffed w/ polyfill?

Swap the subs with a ported box built by James Bang -2.0 cube after displacement of course laybrith style tuned to 28hz. The Max loved it, not the rsd though, to big for big it? forgot the recommended specs for the rsd.

hmm recommended size...I have not played around with the 10s besides in the spl install..which is tuned at like 55hz so that doesnt really count for anything sounding good.

But I do much prefer the RSd sealed, over ported, I do with most subs tho lol so may not mean much. The Rsd12d did shine quite a bit more sealed over ported, but the ported box I used was tuned for spl in my friends car so a lot of variables that come into play, so not a real assement but just a thought.

did the RSD get decently loud in the sealed? or is ported the way to go if you want an RSD to get decently loud (yes i know, ported is generally the way to go if you wanna get loud"er")?
