I just got a 12" box, it's 1.3 cu ft. Doesn't really fit well into the trunk as far as tucking it away. It's too big to fit on the shelf and doesn't really tuck into the sides well.
You think its possible to give us the dimensions of that box, angles etc for construction, im thinking of building a box for my car and want something i know will fit, and work...im assuming those are tens right?
I think I may have the demnsions os the box saved but i will have to check. I remember that 12" speakers where to big. With the ten i was still able to use the rear 4/10's aswell.
If i can't find the spec's on the box I will take some rough measurements and get them to you. But it won't be until sometime this weekend. Since the box is bolted in and I have to remove the amp board to get to it. I was planning on making it more pleasing to the eye anyway. (see pic.)
I'd see if anyone parting out a car on here is willing to sell them to you. I just removed my rear speakers all together since I just put in some nice components up front and a sub in the trunk.
13.5" Tall, 19" Wide, 12" Deep fits inbetween the 6x9s in a Regal. Its about 1.25 cuft^3, and works well for a typical 10" or 12" sub. HTH........
Evaddave 87gn, why did you face your subs that way? Is it up and running? How does it sound? Ive always pointed my subs toward the trunk..... always seemed to get more output that way. Just curious............
My Setup as of last week....... currently ditching the 12" in sealed box for 10" in 1.25 Cuft^3 Slot Ported Enclosure tuned to 38hz. Hope to get more output out of the vented enclosure.......
In my last regal I had a set up just like you do, and I hated the vibration in the trunk. I realize that the frequency is so low that direction is not that important. However, I have found that pointing the sub directly into the car I seem to get a crisper sound. (the music i listen to does not have to much of that driving bass as say rap.) The other reason: In the last Buick someone popped my trunk and just unscrewed my subs, and amps, and walked away. When i built this I had the intention of hiding all the components. But I am still not done with all the cosmetic work. It still looks a little rough.
