This is the secound version of this enclosure. The first one hit 138db's. This one is .5 cuft larger, so I'm guessing in the 140's. It is a little over 2 cuft total with all the displacement taken out.

More info on my webpage, including the step by step install of the entire system.

Really nice man. I really like the way it looks factory but not at the same time.

The enclosure took around 23 hours, but with the rack add another 2. I have to say the Type R's are worth the money. I had 2 Z type Alpine 12" before this one and they do not compare.

When I say Z type, it was there model SWR-304E about 3-4 years old. On the front of the subs it said ZR. Thats what I mean by Z type.

Hey John

Great job on the enclosure. I like the single sub look. Everyone is doing 2 or 4 subs.

If you like. Email me all your step by step photos and I can upload them in The gcf photo gallery. We give all installer credit for there work. Check it out and let me know.  http://glassmanscustomforum.com/v-web/gallery/albums.php

There is alot of curing time in that 23 hours. It was cold as hell, which did not help much!
