Building box for Type R's

**iceman977th** · 06-02-2010

I've decided to drop the BTL's and go with Type R's from Alpine...I've heard three sets of them and they are plenty loud for me. The thing is, I want to make it a nice clean install, so I want to make a ported box to fit, but have room in the back for the amplifiers + room to access them. According to the users manual, the optimum box ported is about 2 cu ft for one. I've already measured & I can fit a box 36" wide & 16" high, but I don't know how deep it would have to be. Anyone have any insight on what to do? I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I rock an Alpine type X 12 and it pounds nice and clean. Much better than my buddies 2 type R 10's. ANYWAYS here are a metric ton of free box plans. ENJOY!extremechevyman67 box designs - Photobucket Groups
