Need a box for my Alpine Type X
Hi, I'll be buying a Alpine MRP-M1000 amp for the type-x sub so I'll need to wire the sub down toe 2ohms somehow..
Anyways I really need to buy a box or get a box made. Any suggestions? heres a link: http://www.crutchfieldcanada.com/Alpine_Type_X_SWX_1243D_12_Dual_4_ohm_Component_p/500swx1243.htm |

I want a subwoofer BOX:P silly. |
Damn, can't type tonight..
But I don't know what type of box I should get for it.. I want the sub to last so I was told to get a ported box.. but.. should it be custom made or could I just buy one in Toronto's GTA? |
Well... I don't think being ported will make it last longer (typically a woofer can take more raw power in a sealed box). If you go sealed the box will be smaller and ported it will be louder and may perform better overall (or not if it is built incorrectly).
I think you can get a custom box made at a retail shop that would look great in your ride for a few dollars more than a prefab box that looks like a prefab box... but there are some great looking prefabs too. |
i made a thread for people like you called "enclosure plans" pick one from there in the 2 cubic foot range to build, or you can PM me and i'll possibly build one for you.

the Alpine specs work well for overall SQ and SPL...so consider that. As far as sealed vs. ported, well that's a taste, space available, system design parameters, and perhaps type of music predominately listened to....decision! I personally prefer ported all else being equal...rare...but in my current system I decided to go sealed for a few reasons and I'm very happy with the bass output and quality. By the way i have 2 type R's and have given them 1200 watts rms for 2.5 years now with no issues. The x's are very good subs and can handle a lot of power very cleanly...if you have the space, go ported as they tend to be slightly inefficient.
