I agree with OYM, the Type R is an excellent value. Try it in a larger sealed box (more airspace).

When I originally purchased an old rd. Solobaric, they recommended a .66 cft sealed box. It sounded like crap. I called Kicker and asked their Tech guys WTF. They said I did everything right. I ended up putting it in a 1.5 cft box and the thing kicked ass

go to a 2cu ft ported box, tuned to 34Hz
that should fix it

i would never ever ever seal a type r thats just a bad idea kiki is dead on.

Just made a slot ported box - 2.0 cu.ft. @ 35Hz. How should the settings on my Hifonics bx1000d be set at for this? Lowpass?Subsonic?Bass Boost?

Everything should be the same except the subsonic should now be at 35 hz.

It's much pretty now isnt it... Of course it is!

Long thread here, for a Refresher: Single type-r in a ported box,2.0cu.ft.@35Hz,with a Hifonics bx1000d amp. Wondering about the settings on the amp for this set-up. Subsonic, Bass Boost, Lowpass ???

sub sonic around low 30's IMO. no bass boast or if you must use it reset your gains afterwards. yes set to lowpass and set it to around 80's.

should be very happy with that box set up. if you need helping with building plans hit me up. i love helping to design boxes.

The subsonic filter has a minimum setting of 15 hz and 35 hz is the max. So, should I turn it all the way up to the max 35hz?? Is this right??

i think you usually set your subsonic filter slightly lower than tuning frequency...
