The MTX Subs require more space than the type r's. that box would be way too big... if u do that its gonna sound like crap... it depends on how u want it to sound... if u go with a sealed box youll get really tight bass wich is what i got my type r's in... if u go ported they sound more full... either way the type r's are very good subs... best buys 2 12 boxes sealed are perfect for the type r's... u could just take an idea from that design...

Re: question about box design

there isnt an actual enclosure size for each sub they have recomended sizes, its all basically application specific. You can fit 2-3cuft enclosures in and suz while one closer to .6-1.0 cuft would be better for a truck or small car. Id say go on any of the major car audio sites and they might help you. As for the MTX i like how they put the sledgehammer in all there aub models now makes them sound more powerful than they really are.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
