Type-R's in a shared chamber?

[DylanBeatz 10+ year member]

On a different forum someone told me that Alpine Type-R's don't sound good in a shared chamber box and that I should make my box 2 seperate chambers. Is this true at all?? I don't see why it would be. It makes no sense. But if it's true, i need to know.

Either way.. I had mine seperate. It's not too hard to just do them seperate if you're worried about it

go with shared chamber... no reason to seperate them. do you have them installed with an enclosure already built for them? if it sounds right to you why change it?

Then a shared chamber IMO is better than separated.

Shared chamber is simpler, but not necessarily better. Definitely not a difference in how they would sound.

I would make two boxes for that mustang. Ive done 2 12's in a mustang and two boxes worked out better than one, two that screw together once in the car. And type rs love big boxes. at least 2.25 each NET

I think i did something like two 15x10xtrunk width boxes that drop in first one slides back then drop the second one in and screw them together on the inside with a lip around the edge.

I personally like a separate chamber box because it also adds a bit more bracing than a shared space box. For what it's worth.

I don't think that it is physically possible to get a box in there with more airspace than the one i'm gonna build.

And hey I see you're from madison. I'm from Sun Prairie

true, but with the port in the middle like i'm gonna do, it braces it pretty good
