I ordered my type Rs now i need to get a box. I would like a ported box, the manual says that it requires 1.7 cubic feet per sub. I found a box with 1 vent in the middle with 1.6 cubic feet per sub, would this work or is it too small?

What size sub? I have a 12" type R in a box with roughly 1.5cf and it works ok

its the 12 inch

That box should work fine. Black_Friday will probably chime in soon to give you the yes or no for sure

you will be fine with that box. it might be a lil under after sub displacement but no audible dif should be noticed IMO. you all good mang

Does it matter that it has that shared port in the middle?

nope your good to go mang. it goes by post area so the company making the prefab boxes have that taken into consideration. personaly i like to build my own that way it fits exactly how ya want it and to specs of sub/subs being used. but thats up to the individual. prefab boxes(store bought) are fine for those who just dont have desinging and buildin one as an option. you should be fine with that box though. any pics by chance? or link lol. ill come back on in the am, i got some pilars to build hahaaaa

The vent area that is recommended for the type r is .305 cubic feet. The box that ive picked out has only .195, any ideas on that? Also i was lookin at your profile and i noticed the A pillars you got, did you make those or what? Id like to have the same thing except with tweeters in em.

No, I don't sorry. I'm not up to snuff on my port sizes. I did make the A pillar

hmm is there anymore specs for the port? im used to sq in for port area and cuft for air space of the box. ha damn blackpearl your a builder too huh lol i made my pilars too, both times and building a set for radamirthegreat too lol.anyways ha,bonny99 is there a link to the box your talking about? brand or whatever cuz i could do some more looking into it for ya. goo thing to go by for port area is 12sq" of post area per sq ft of air space. ill be back on in a bit here, off to the doc ha
