i was just curious as to what box type i should put my type r's in. there in a sealed box (little bigger then rec. specs)now and they sound pretty decent, but could be louder. just wanted some opinions if i should stay with a sealed box in the rec. specs or should i get a ported one? and if i should go ported, does anybody know where i can get a good one for 2 subs at, i don't have a place where i can build my own.

Q- logic makes good ported boxes. Just be sure to stay within the specs. of your speakers also remember that speakers can't handle as much power in ported boxes.

Go with ported for sure. With type R's it makes them way louder, and in the right box they sound better than they do in sealed.

there 12's dvc each ran by a pg xenon 400.1, soon to be upgraded to a 600.1.

any other companys make good ported boxes, i heard bad things about q-logic cause there boxes have plastic end caps that sometime rattle or brake off.

type Xs in sealed sounds nice. i had them in ported before and when i changed it to sealed, it just sounded so much better. they are no loud spl subs but the sq is excellent.
