creating box for alpine type r 12

Hi guys, just signed up after trying forever to get winISD to work and am about to go insane. in any case heres what i have, I have a '08 Mitsubishi eclipse and am trying to make a box for a Alpine Type-R SWR-1242D powered by a kicker ZX750.1 have a 2-farad cap and another amp powering my front door speakers. i don't have much i dea and what i should tune it at, was thinking around 33hz? i was also wanting a slot type port is what i thinking but that really doesn't matter. anyway thanks a lot guys would really appreciate the help!

alpine has the specs on how to bulid the box so for that sub online http://support.alpine-usa.com/products/documents/OM_SWR-1242D.PDF good luck1993 sdv

the speced box for the 12 sucks.

thqats what ive been hearing, ive also heard if you go with a sealed box your limiting it. aznboi is their a way you can change the plans for your box for 2 12" to just one? or would i just cut one of those off or is it more complicated than that? winISD is really messing with me now, some features dont work, probably because im using vista X64-bit... any help would be appreciated, and thanks for the posts guys! if you need measurements for my trunk i can get them to you if you need as well...

I recommend 2 cubes tuned to 32Hz for the best combination of SPL and SQ. A slot port will probably be the most convenient if you have the room. If you use a round port you just want to make sure it is large enough so you don't have port noise.

My other design is specifically for that application and dimensions. Post up your dimension you have to work with and what you want from the sub stage

ok heres the specs of the trunk, L=24" W=32.3" any longer than that and its hard to shut the trunk without it rubbing up against the top. i would like to keep most of my trunk space, if at all possible, also to your quesion of what i wnat, i mostly listen to Hard rock/alternative, with the occasionally rap song with heavy bass in it. thanks for the help!

is that what you needed or not?

I just made a box for my friend and it came out to be about 2.1 cubic feet ported to 28Hz. Gets down pretty deep and tackles the low notes pretty well and sounds good.
