Can some please reccommend me a box for my Type X sub? SEALED or PORTED? How big? Tuned to? IT'll be powered by a PG Xenon ONYX 1200.1

Not a whole lot of room, I listen to mostly rap.. let me know.

12" In a Pontiac Sunfire. At the back. Remember, not a ton of room to work with.

Anyone have a nice box made already for a Type X sub? Or should I get someone to build one?

Here's a few things people said, which would be the most accurate? I want this to be done right.. :/

1. Get that sub, nice 2.0(recommended, I believe?)^ft box after displacements at 32hz. Yum. Sound great and get fairly loud.

_____________________________________________

2. I'd build the biggest sealed box you can fit (Up to 2.3cu.ft...)

_____________________________________________

3. Dont go all too big, a 2.3^ft sealed box just isnt called for. lol

I think it suggests up to like 1.0 or 1.25 sealed, I would look at the specs and personally I wouldnt go any higher than what it says. Just me


_____________________________________________

4. i love the way mine sounds, the extention a amazing, 1.75 cubes tuned to 33hz(ish)

Have never owned a sealed box before, know that now. I've owned 3 boxes and all were ported. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
