box for 15inch alpine type R

hey anyone out there know what shape/size sub box i should build for my 15 inch alpine type R??? i have a kenwood 1100watt amp and the type R gets it all to itself but i just need to know the right size and shape of box to get maximum umphhh out of the sub.

i built a fairly large sub box out of particle board in kind of a triangle shape so the sub is on a 45 degree angle but it doesn't pound at all !!!

the shape is not so important ... the interior volume is VERY important, especially when you are porting it.

This should help you out. http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp

porting it?

A box designed with that program will give you bass. It may not sound great, but you did buy a 15.

15's don't sound good ?

I guess if all you listen to is rap. A ported 15 would have a hard time keeping up with metal or something like that.

not a well made one ...... but it's true, some subs are made for SPL only and can be kinda sloppy on some of the upper bass - but size is not the only factor.
