I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with these subs. I have two 10's read to go in. I can't decide weather or not to go sealed or ported, i've heard mixed reviews on either.


Anyone out there with experience in building and listening to these subs in different boxes and sizes???


thx for input.

cheers

 

sealed is going to give you a more better sound.

i have one 10 and i have tried it in both 1.6 sealed and 2.2 ported to 38hz.

ported you are going to need big ports because it moves alot of air, and you are probly going to want to tune it rather low.

winisd says to go sealed

 

Well I have two 10's going in I assume that the two of them in a set of nice small sealed boxes are going to give me a hell of a kick either way (in other words i'm not going to be missing the extra that a ported box would give me) I'm running 1200RMS (there about) to them.

 

From what i have read the type X performs well sealed. Are you after quality or loudness?

 

I want more sound quality, i'm assuming that it will be PLENTY loud in the car, i don't care for showing off outside of the car.

 

My buddy had a single 12 type x sealed (can't remember volume, thinking about 1.25 cubic feet) with a mrd1000 for an amp, sounded really nice in his integra. If you are more concerned with sq, go sealed. Maybe its just me, but I think the type x's are better sealed, and the type r's are better ported. Then again thats just my opinion.

 

definately go sealed

 

so what do you figure, should i just go by alpine's sealed specs or should i plug it all into winisd and go from there??




ps: great help guys.

 

I suggest sealed, a buddy of mine has 1 10" in a sealed box, sounds amazing. I have never heard it in a ported box, but I do own a Type R in a ported that sounds just awesome.

 

For the sealed box I would just go with the recommended specs.
