2 Type R's on the way and i am ready to make my box, but since i dont have the dimensions of the subs, i wanted to wait.. I cant wait any longer, so does anyone know the dimensions of a type R?

I want to make a ported box, and what would you guys recommend the dimensions be for 2 12"?

I guess ill put the port in the middle (1 big port, instead of 2 smaller ones on the ends) Let me know so i can start tomorrow, thanks!!!!!!!

P.S. Logan im expecting you to respond ;)

Can anyone show me some blueprints for this box? Logan any help? I have no idea how to get dimensions for it (2 type r's) and im debating between..

BIG PORT IN THE MIDDLE
OR
2 smaller ports on the side.

Desperate for dimensions!

This would be the easiest way to build a box to your specs. why do you want 2 ports or 1 in the middle?

because my subs are going to be standing up, not lying flat, and it will hit harder with one of those options as opposed to laying flat and having just one on the side.

2cuft \ sub tuned 33hz slotported

i have tried both separate & common chamber with 1 large port with my Rs

single chamber & 1 port is louder BUT

separate chambers & ports give u a cleaner bass but slightly less louder

i would do them with separate chambers\ports .......

thanks rovin, is a 34.5 x 16.75 x 14.5 doable, i think its a little bigger than what you suggested, but do u think this setup will enhance the subs or just make them sound worse?

Logan.. that box says....
Tuning Frequency: 109 Hz
Need some sleep?

How would the Type R's sound at 38hz with about 2cu..? What do they peak at does anyone know? I want to get in the middle range of peak SPL and SQ for my friend..

^didnt intend to jack this thread but since its on the Type R's... might as well add to the thread

Yea he will be building it...with my help. I still have to design the PORTED box for him but i am thinking about 2cu per sub after displacments, one shared port in the middle of box. Im guessing about 38hz for the best SPL and SQ i can get out of them but i am still waiting for opinoins before i decide on tuning freq. Its going in a dodge neon. Ill let you know what i find out about these subs\box designs.. its always a P.I.T.A. to decide on how to build a box... expeccialy when its not yours and your trying to guess on sombody elses taste... lol
