Sorry your disapointed bro. It sucks when you go to all that work and you don't get the results you want.

I had a 94' Accord sedan that I put 1 Orion XTR12 DVC in a 3.75cu-ft box at 33hz. It wasn't bad for what it was, but I to

expected to much. Live and learn I guess.

Thanks. Thanks for everybody's help as well.

I'm satisfied with my setup for now though. Yes, I was expecting more but it's all good. I can always save up for an hdc3 if I decide I need more : )

i had 2 of them in my explorer in 6.5 cubes @ 32 hz running of a bxi2006d and i did a 151 on a ac190. they were definately some of my favorite cheapo subs.

You can get get 2 15" type R's nowadyas on ebay for liek 300 shipped.

They are fairly good for the price.

For that Boom Boom. Just make sure your amp can supply the R's.

Just played with my buddies 2 Type R 12's in an Eclipse. They did a 144.8 @ the headrest and a 147.2 in the kick with a zx1500.1 @ 38 hz. Keep in mind that this is a daily setup and my meter is hard. I don't see why you're having problems.

I used mine in 2.75 @ 37 and it was unbelievable for a $100 single 12". I was feeding it 1kw though. Check out the vid in my sig.

I hear ya, my friend has two 12" r's in a sealed box in his Hyundai and im not all that impressed with them, he is feeding 1000w rms total, 500w rms each. Many factors could have played a role in the sound though, it could be the box you have, the car you have and the power you are giving.

my one ported box with a single sub sounds like two subs. Having a custom box made specifically for the subs is very good.

K i'm getting closer. I set the Bass eq to 0. It did go negative, so 0 was in the middle.
I also discovered the subwoofer level adjustment on my HU, I thought my headunit had it but I hadn't found it til now. So that is set to max.

What about the bass level on the headunit? With it at 0, I get pretty low output. Cranking it to +6 (max) REALLY bumps it up. I'm assuming this will clip the sub as well? Can I just set my gains with it maxxed out to get a good setting?

you discovered your h/u has a sub level adjustment, but are the rcas hooked up to the sub out on the h/u? the adjustment won't affect anything if the amp isn't hooked up to it.

Trunks aren't as hard to make decently loud as people make them to be. Once you start trying to reach high 140's-150's then it gets hard because of space.

I have 2 12" R's and im pretty pleased with them. I have heard that once they are tuned lower then 34hz they start to lose intensity and its just kind of a waste. Next time tune it to about 35hz and ill bet you will be happy with the end results
