I am getting 2x Alpine type-r 12" and I need a ported enclosure for them. I dont want to build a box,so I was wondering where could I buy a dual 12" ported enclosure for them? I have alrddy looked at "Woofersect.com" but their dual 12" enclosure is pretty expensive. I was looking for something under 100$
Here is the TYpe-R specs______________________
    * Subwoofer Size 12"
    * Impedance 2 ohms
    * Peak Power Handling 1500 watts
    * RMS Power Handling 500 watts
    * Woofer Surround Santoprene Rubber
    * Sealed Box Volume 0.85 cu. ft.
    * Ported Box Volume 1.70 cu. ft.
    * Sensitivity 85 dB
    * Frequency Response 23 - 500 Hz
    * Top Mount Depth 7.7"
    * Cutout Diameter 10.9"

Getting the PROPER enclosure for $100 or less is going to require you building it yourself or finding a heck of a deal.

When I would build boxes for people I didnt know I would start pricing at $125 for a dual chambered ported box.

Going with a prefabricated ported box with such nice subs sounds like a waste to me.

You will not find a pre fab box that will be spot on for any sub, thats why they are pre fab boxes. Leaving a lack of output, lack of clarity, or worse can cause failure of subs if the box is to large and power handling of the subs can be reduced by having them in too large an enclosure.

Try using the installer database on this site and find someone to build you a box, you might find a deal near you.

Have you ever built a box before, or do you know how?

I see you are located in Florida; if you want I could help you build one - I have built several and have all the tools/space needed. If you just wanted me to build it for you, I could probably do it for around $100 or so...

nah I really appreciate the help but I already found a auto body shop, they do body work and the owners son just happens to be the one who builds boxes. So hes got me covered. Besides im just a little 16 year old kid, you would probably just rofl.

Um, I'm only 21 posted_image .

It's weird that you mention the other guy though - my dad owns a body shop here in town and I have been considering starting up my own side business out of his place doing performance mods/audio/custom stuff...
