The Official Type R Thread

[Ingleside 10+ year member]

Would it be at all possible to mount a 12" Type R in a 14.5H x 18W x 5.5D1 x 8.5D2 box? That equals out to .683cuFt.
I've read that a Type R can be used in enclosures with an airspace of .57-1.0 CuFt. So how would it sound in the box described above?

Or is the mounting depth way too much? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

don't do it. i had mine in a 1cubic foot fiberglass box and it sounded "ok"

i started reading about how they came "alive" in a ported box so i built a 2.15 cubic foot box @32 htz and now it hits way harder than before.

Right now I got 2 10" Type R's. Would a 15" L7 be a big difference in SPL going from 800w to two subs to 1100 to one sub. My friend saying maybe run my amp at .5 and get it a little louder if it would work. I know they are two different type subs and all but just a little curious. I like change and always like to change stuff up and I thought about doing a new setup over the summer.

get a louder box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

the 15L7's aren't worth a look, if you want to get an L7, get a 10 or a 12.

Thats why I didn't knwo if I could compare it to my setup right now because my box is tuned in the low 30's. I might build a SPL box or something.

You can get loud at a low note, you just have to know what your doing.

[TheAtomicMan 10+ year member]

What's a good box for a single type R 12? I have a Q-logic 1.75cu ft that can be sealed or ported and I have a 2cu ft slot port box tuned to 32hz. What do you guys have?
