Almost any decent amp will play @ 2ohm mono, I'm currently running both of my 70's civic's at 1ohm mono thru a pair of DVC 12", the '89 wagon will also be running 1ohm thru 2 -12". Im assuming your type-r is dual 4ohm? What amp are you using to run it?
got the box and sub in the wagon, box tuned at 34hrz sub is wired up at 2ohms picking up a kenwood x1r exceleron amp, have a 4 farad cap and 4 gauge wire going to be wireing the amp up at 2ohms 1200 watts rms
haha ear plugs are for wimps lol, yea i was thinking about adding another battery but i dont know how to run it along with my o.e battery so that they both charge...?
so today i decited to try and work on hiding my sub a little more i cut a hole in the spare tire cover and cut the carpet to fit around my sub box and i droped the sub box into the spare tire hole, and i screwed down the loose carpet to the spare tire cover, and i screwed the cap down ran the wires, now all i need is the amp... And i am going to try and clean up the wireing, will get pics up asap
yea i know sry, ummm.... Either my car is like sound proof or my box is bad.... Or great....? I was messing around with a 800watt rms amp we had laying around and i wanted to see how loud it was out of the car... So i turned the volume up rolled up all the windows and shut all the doors and it wasnt realy that loud.. I mean the roof poping was louder than the music but inside its a hole different story, it moves your hair at 800 watts :-| i mean yea of course when i role down the windows it gets louder outside the car, is that normal? Cause my last system was two alpine type r's but in a seald box and it was 3 times as loud outside the car, that was in a civic coupe with 1200watts though :-S
the box is as air tight as it can get besides the port, and its siting on over an inch of pading, i never messured my last sub to see how loud it was but you could hear it alot more right outside the car compaired to the sub i have now where its alot louder inside than outside witch to me isnt that big of a deal because i want it to be loud not the whole neighbor hood
haha boat paint.. seriously? I got the amp all hooked up works great, i am now building a crapet- wood- plexi glass cover for the amp and cap and sub will get pics up asap

if i care...
with the levels you are about to play...
i'll stick to factory...
level, slope, phase, cut off
its a bitch when listening
to so many kinds of 'music'
my guess is, tuned to the speakers
were one end another starts...
i try to use the SUB for everything you feel
below 20Hz or 28 at least...imho thats where
it really should be, serving its purpose...
and earplugs...
chassis, enclosure...blah blah blah...
interferences...
my sub sits on 4 app. 2x2" rubber pivots...
hollow...
and not attached to anything...
i want vibrating airwaves...
not the car...
: )
how did you do that by measuring or by ear...?
and there is another issue: standing waves
in or out of phase ...
meaning you stood in the wrong position/distance
the power you feed to an sub...
will diffuse over the # of inches ...
its like you hitting a sumo wrestler fullforce...
he's gonna yawn and say...
'i think' i feel an itchy coming up...
and...
you can kill eardrums with a single(1) Watt
i think you should use boatpaint for the enclosure,
maybe a 2-component paint
or use wood at least an inch thick pref. more
no ?
: )
