Make sure you have goo electrical, and you'll get good power out of your amp.

In my experience with Type ARGGGG'S, I've noticed that they like a larger enclosure. SO if possible, I would suggest around 4.5 cubic feet after displacements around 35hz

 

heres whats im running right now

its taking up 75% or more of my hatch space
so a dual setup will be all of it for sure

 

looks tight LOL

common chamber enclosure will work best, port on drivers side.

 

thanks, heres a video from last year, since then i added a pioneer deck..
in the process now of doing 3 things..
switch to alpine deck, always had em and like em better then pioneer..
get a amp to my boston acoustics components
add a 2nd type R or get a higher end sub

so if i add a 2nd type R , go single port or dual port?

 

single slot port on the drivers side.

if you need an enclosure design, let me know.

 

25% more space from 2 cubes isn't going to be 4.5 cubes, it's 2.5. If you want to fit 4.5 you'll need to be able to stack another and even larger box on your current, have you noticed you want to double up? It looks like you can go wider on the sides and height but not much. Either use a single beefy 12 on more power, 2 10's in 3 cubes, or two of these if you've got 600w to play with ($125ea). These look crazy for a small sub with great sensitivity and response.

Sound Solutions Audio - DCON Series Subwoofers

YouTube - 10" SSA DCON Subwoofer abusing a trunk lid - single ported 10 did 137db in a trunk with 500w (300 rms).

The loudest will probably be a BTL 12 or 2 BL 10's. Can you afford 1500-2000w? That kind of setup would be real fkin loud in a small hatch.

 

Port on drivers side with 54-72 square inches of port area for 4.5 cf3, invert the subs because it looks like you're cramming, use .75" MDF, and a 35hzish tune. What are the max dimensions you can use? I doubt you can fit 4.5.

Tell me that ain't sexy for 300W RMS.

 

Ill have to measure later today to see what room I have.
Don't want to go all out. But space is definatly limited. I'm getting a good puch from the one 12 now and without completly changing my setup. Maybe its no feasable to add another type r 12??

 

whatever you do dont mix sub models PERIOD... if you do it will make things worse not better with the potential of blowing things up...

 

oh and btw do not make it 4.5 cu ft... thats way too big! but hey what the hell do i know
that size of box is for a sub designed back in the 80's
