how many watts can alpine type r handle

What I am trying to say is, if the volume is turned down the amp would not be pushing the full 'ka-gillion' watts.

The OP didn't ask what the largest amp he can put on his Type-R, and yes a 'ka-gillion watt' amp would work, but the Type-Argh can still only handle 1200watts RMS -just cause that's the highest answer we've seen so far (from aznboi).

thanks aznbo13644!!!  Say, do you mean build a single chamber box 3 cubic feet total internal for both tens and then add 2 4" ports 11.25" long?  If so, is this tuned to 40hz or 35?  I do want SPL, but would rather do 35 instead of 40 for better quality and sacrafice a few dbs.

By the way... do you think an enclosure like this one could keep up with and/or sound better and/or play louder than 2 Audiobahn Flame Q DVC subs in a 4 cube ported box?

I've got a little neighbor contest we started last month and I'm trying to ensure I've got those dang audiobahn's taken care of

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

PS... plan to run a Brtus 1501 hifonics amp to the alpines...enough power for them?

[QUOTE=aznboi3644]Unless you want a slot ported design I can make one for you tuned to 35-36hz that will rape those Audiocrap Lame Q's QUOTE]

YES ABSOLUTELY!  I'd love a design like that.  Here's what I have to work with:  Box has to be 11.25" tall.  Has to be 17" deep.  I can go up to 49" in total width.  So I can adjust the width to what-ever you think I need.  I'm using 3/4" MDF.  THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

As for his box... well, be actually built it, and it's built surprising well and solid... it of course has no carpet or finsh on it

Thanks for the help on this, I greatly appreciate it!

I am VERY IMPRESSED!  How wide is the port, and long is it?  I'll likely build it just as you have pictured above... but would it matter if I moved the port on the opposite side next to the subs?  The port would then wrap behind the subs.  If it would be better to have the port where you have it drawn, I'll build it there.  Finally, I see the short brace in between the two subs.  Could I keep that out and double-face the box?

Thanks!!!!!!!!  Nice Design!
