got 2 alpine type r 12's commin.. gotta sealed box.. but would they sound better in a vented box?
lol. any sub sounds fine in a sealed box. what an ignorant post this is. sure, it will sound fine sealed, but the type R is made to be ported. better to port 1 type R, than seal 2. you are wasting alot of money on an extra sub, and the power for the extra sub, when a single type r ported, and a smaller amp, would get just as loud to the ear. this assumes you make the proper enclosure. 2.25 cubes per type R 12, tuned to 34 hz seems to get pretty loud.type R's sound just fine in a sealed box.. how could they sound bad? its not like porting is going to get you better SQ or something. that was a really stupid thread. thanks for wasting my time.
i have done both, and my sealed enclosure sounds so much better FYI, and if you want to get louder then you should definitely go ported. And no, they don't sound bad, they sound better.This was a big joke. Type R's are known to sound bad in sealed boxes and most people prefer them ported. Sorry for misleading you I just needed to vent on some noobs. Ported for sure. There is an entire thread dedicated to the Type R you should check it out
