R's Sound really good sealed to specs. IMO.
Although I recently built a ported box and it is much punchier and gets the really deep notes well now and is a good bit louder with less power.
But I think I might go back to sealed.

As far as the amp I would try to replace it with something better because I dont think sony even makes a amp that is 500+RMS for two subs.
I am runing mine with a Ultra Linear 1600.2 amp but I am looking for something better.with more real power.

its not a bad box, my rockfords pounded in it, but these type r's arent doing what i thought they would, not that they dont hit, its just that they arent what i was expecting.

R's are a great starter sub they are more forgiveing than a lot of subs.
And They are about the best bang for the buck.IMO

How many CuFt is the box?
It might be too small for bandpass.

That amp is waaaay underpowering those R's.

Are your subs 2 or 4 ohm?
You might be able to run 1 R with that amp.

well if you want to go loud build a ported box sealed will make it sound better but ported ive heard is the way to go with type r's and a zapco amp will run u a pretty penny i would go with the orion or kicker something along those lines
