a constant question is what box to use with the type-rs. Most people say a sealed box at a certain cubic feet. BUt what would the demensions if that box be? like width length and depth?

can one 15" get as loud as two 12"s?

do the type r's perform better in sealed or ported?

what is a good amount of watts to push the 15" type r?

what is a good amp to power a type r and how many watts would get the job done for a 15"? and also, do the 15"s work better ported or sealed?

If this has already been mentioned, sorry //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . There's a ton of good info in this thread, but ALOT to sort through!!! Anyone try this box out? I don't really have the time to build one, so I'm hoping something like this will do. This would be the 1.25 CU FT version. I think they are tuned to 34 Hz. Any recommendations on this box? I'll be using an Alpine V-Power mono 350 W amp (MRP-M350) to power one 12" Type-R. Specs call for 0.7 to 1.0 CU FT sealed box right? A guy at one of the local stores gave me a stupid look when I told them I needed a 1.0 CU FT box. Told me if I wanted to hit good lows 1.25 CU FT sealed is the way to go. I do want it to hit low, but not at the cost of the sub not meeting it's fullest potential. If I can get this box in the Mustang trunk (probably have to take all that plastic trim off just to do that, but) it seems like it would give me a vented option to play around with. Basically I'm just hoping to get it right the first time! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Is tuning at 34 Hz better than something less than 30 Hz? I listen to everything (Hard Rock, Hip Hop, Bluegrass, Accoustical), but still want a compromise that will leave me feeling the bass should I opt for some Rap! How does one get that?

Thanks for the help!

"Drive it like you stole it!"

Edit ----> Yep most of this has been discussed many times over. Still...I'm sol when it comes to a vented box unless it's custom built. I might have to just try a $40 1.25 CU FT sealed "Volcano" made box for the time being until I can find or build a 2 CU FT box that will fit in that little trunk!
