Port placement not a good choice
First, Type Rs do not fit. Had to remove roughly a 1/4 from the diameter of the holes (thought this box was made for Alpines, huh). Second, there is no terminal cup in center wall to allow easy paralleling of subs, cups are actually on outer opposite sides. I drilled a hole in the center, ran wiring through, and sealed the hole. Third, the ports don't make sense for almost all applications for the size of this box. Most applications the ports will be right up against the trunk interior restricting air flow and sound. Maybe it was meant for SUVs. If I only still had that 70s Ford LTD then there would be sufficient air space on either side. I have a single T1 in a face ported box from Atrend with less than half the power I have to push to both the Alpine Rs and it blows them away in other car. Debating on buying two single 10 boxes and bolting them together because the rest of their options suck for freq with dual 10s and face ports. Buyer beware.

Sub par box, only partial thought went into design
Sorry forgot to include stars. First, Type Rs do not fit. Had to remove roughly a 1/4 from the diameter of the holes (thought this box was made for Alpines, huh).
