mm thanks. Haha i thought they would be, but i wasn't sure. Anyways, what should i have it tuned at? I found specs on one thats
DOUBLE 12" VENTED ENCLOSURE
1.93 CUBIC FEET PER CHAMBER
BOX TUNING - 37 HZ
DIMENSIONS: 15 3/4" (H) x 34" (W) x 18 1/4 " (D)

Would this be good for my 12" alpine r's?

37hz is a lil high for my tastes, for daily bumping that is. I would rather tune at 32hz or lower. Thats just me though.

Youd be better off getting it custom built or building it on your own dude. Throwing subs in a random box doesnt always work out for the best.
This will cost you more but the ed boxes look really well built :

do one of their inquries on a custom ported box or pick a preset size/ tune from their menu.

Yea whatever subs you get make the box with the specs from the subwoofer manual it will tell you all the cubic feet and what to tune to box to and thats how u get the best from your subwoofers ported.
