band pass or vented

^^^^That would suck to hear a bass change, thinking you might have blown your speakers.

I really like the sound of sealed boxes...the bass has so much more definition. ...but for pure output...vented is the way to go....although the bass will be a lot harder to decipher.

type-r's r designed to go in a ported box (vented). i have a type-r 10" sub and ported box combo that alpine designed and sold as one. band pass is a waste of time for any sub IMO.

Not entirely true. Bandpass can be very, very loud if built properly, but most people wouldn't take the time to shave each edge and seal it properly for optimal output.

The bandpass enclosures you can buy pre-built from your local best buy isn't true bandpass, at least not the type you'd want to use for a subwoofer in your trunk or common cabin area where the resonant frequency of your vehicle becomes a huge issue in the reproduction of sound from your subwoofer. A true bandpass box has sealed rear chambers (motors sealed in their own chambers) and a shared, vented common chamber for the remaining sides of each speaker. They sit at an angle to avoid cancellation. This shared chamber creates extra output in the same way that the trunk of a car does, but in a smaller enclosure.

Those bandpass enclosures you see at your local best buy might work for some subwoofers, but most will suffer in them, since they're tuned above 70Hz (in most cases).

Again, as I originally suggested, and as most here suggest (blindly, obviously), vented/ported is the way to go with a Type R.
