looks like you could shim your amp/cap rack up a little to be more flush. not bad though. i made my own as well.

Simple and Clean. Not symmetrical.

I give it an A-. Satisfactory!

for a single 12" type R it seems that you have an awful lot of port area to me. i just built a box in the back of a cougar with 2 of those subs in it and had about the same amount of port area. must just be tuned extremely low. not bad though just trying to be constructive.

Bah. You can never have enough port area.

But what I do notice is that it seems he went out of his way to make two ports and keep the box looking symmetrical...... but didn't even attempt it on the amp.

Um... ok. But you're obviously going to be forced to redo the amp covering with the addition of the new products. So why not make what you have now look straight? There was no work saved by offsetting the gear you have now.

Only 300? it is a 500w RMS sub.. I think you may need some more juice to fully enjoy your sub..

but to stay on the subject - is that a vented box? or does it have the vents just to make it look better?

and if your going to get another sub - you may want to consider getting a PDX 1.1000 amp - it's perfect 500w x2 RMS for your subs.. as well as being small enough to fit anywhere and producing a rediuclously small amount of heat..

I have it 2 type r 10's and they are AWESOME!
