Thanks for the help. Still deciding between the type-s and type-r. I heard the type-r's on 300w, and they sounded ok, nothing spectacular, they really come alive when pushing 500w+. I've only been able to hear the type-s's on a wall so they sounded like crap. I'll probably go with the type-s's since my amp matches up better. still trying to decide.

Man you change your mind to much. First I was helping you with the w6, then the w3, then the xenon, then the alpine, then the xenon again, and now the alpine (ha). Anyways you can get the type r to sound good with about 2 cubes, and tune the box around 30 hertz for sq. If you decide to go sealed then 1 cube would work fine for it, at the expense of out put ofcourse. Most everyone here is going to tell you to go ported, so I say do it.

As for enclosures, build your own, or if you dont know how to, then get someone to build it for you. Your local shop or something.

2~3ft^3 will do you well and tune at 30~34 hz should sound good get low and get loud.

depends on your setup and install, assuming all is good, the S:up2somet: would be a better choice....
