[QUOTE="EviLLLLSiNz, post: 2983598, member: 565700"] i had moe lester's plan for 2.15 cubes at 32hz... it took up half the trunk. now im looking to build or buy a cheap sealed box for it cuz i tried my sub in my firneds sealed box and it actually sounded pretty good. the ported box definetly gave more "boom" but it doesnt seem that there is any "loudness" that is lost with the small sealved box vs a large ported box. i actually like the sound a little more for the sealed box, it has MUCH better response time than the ported box. the ported box was too laggy in my taste for techno and other music that required tight, fast, punhcy bass. i would suggest a small sealed box if you are tight on room (which i am now) and an amp that powers the sub at lest 500w rms. i have it runnin on a alpine mrd-m500 (500wrms, underrated) and it pushes the sub pretty well. im porbbably goin to go with a .85 cu ft sealed box with my 12" type r. saves room and now i dont have problem to get to the spare tire.. also you might want to use the bottom cardboard floorboard as a template to make one out of wood so its stronger. as for the deadening, its not necessary if you dont blast your system all the time. my system only rattles the rear if you turn it up pretty loud. 1 12" type r should be enough since our integras tunnel the sub really well. its plenty of bass for me.
