[QUOTE="Fastr, post: 4013517, member: 569887"] Well heres an update.. I built a 2cube box tuned@30hz. Big difference for the Type-R. People are right when they say it will actually have Better SQ in a well built ported box. The lows are pretty crazy now, but I do see why peeps say this sub is LOUD but not really a great sound still. I put my old RF power 12" in the ported box. Not quite as loud, but just has a better deeper bass sound. Hard to put into words. I then went ahead and built a new 1.75 cube Sealed box for the RF sub. This old thing just sounds fantastic in a big sealed box. Not quite as loud as the ported Alpine on the real deep lows, but surprislingly close! And sounds much better Everywhere else in the freq. range. I have more in car testing to do, but I think the old sub SQ is so much better Im going to have to go back to it. (Even though its only a 1 coil 4ohm sub, the 4" voicecoil and the 91db sensitivity seem to keep it real close loudness wise to the Alpine). Ill post a final update and pics when Im done. Jer [/QUOTE]
