Hey all

Glad to see everythings going well here, I just got home a few days ago from working up north and have decided to do something constructive with my time off.

I was hoping someone can design a ported box for my 2 12" type R's that I will try and build myself, as long as i can get ahold of a jigsaw fairly cheap....

I want to have it subs firing up, slot ported in the back tuned in the low 30's

any help would be spectacular

 

find a box size ratio to car size/sub output calculator online. just google it. they work great. that is what I did with my ford escort, and when i got the rite size of box, it was a harder hitting bass that could sound lower and make your vibrations much thicker and stronger.

 

just build one to JLs specs. I would recommend getting a circular saw and a guide fence before a jigsaw. Circular saw will cut much straighter.

 

why would I build it to JL's specs?

 

because its already designed for you and JL tested and it works.

 

i would say build one to Alpines specs before JL's just because they are Alpine subs and not JL's, i doubt JL went and got some Type-r's to make specs for boxes on them.
just my thoughts though

 

Kinda what I figured too

most people have them in 3.5 cubic feet each.....would that be before or after displacement? i assume before......

 

oh wow. I have no idea why I said JL. ROFL. yeah, use alpines specs. lol

 

lol FAIL hahaha

 

ok, buuut, would that box not be "optimized" on 500rms each?

mine will be getting between 8-850 each.
