building your own box? go sealed! sealed gives you a punchier base (better for just playing loud music) the ported box gives you the oportunity to drop lower base mor effectively but get it wrong and you will be driven mad by port noice (the air being rammed out of the prot will whistle a bit like grandad from the simpsons with a megaphone!)
What are you? a bass junkie or do you just want loud music? loud music will suit one single 12inch set up to pick up from 50hz. this is the way I have mine done and it suits most types of music (as I have no taste I like a little bit of everything music wise) at most volume levels. also to answer the original question, if your not going all out, dont bother with the type X! the Type R is brilliant. (again its what I use) This post has been edited by fazz45: Jan 7, 2007 - 6:48 PM |
