Box Build For Single 12"

[CJtech323]

Just got out on summer break and decided it was time to build a new box. I had had a crappy 1.0ft^3 sealed box in there for it and it was crisp, but the output just wasn't there, so it was time to go ported.

Here is the graph showing the difference in outputs

This is the sub going in, quite a beast if I say so myself:

And this is the old peice of shit box coming out

So I went to Lowes, got a sheet of MDF and got started.

Marking out my cuts:

If you dont have the right tools, Make Them!

Everything all cut up:

Tasty stuff:

First I started with the port:

Then I moved on to the box:

Well thats all of the pics i have uploaded, I'll get some more up tomorrow and post 'em. Comments are appreciated!

and I dont care what anyone says, those subs AINT BAD AT ALL

Ive installed many of them, and they get loud

[CJtech323]

Alright I uploaded the rest of the pics this morning so here they are.

Painting the port walls:

And here is the box all finished, just needs carpet and speaker terminals:

And the install into the car, just ignore the rat's nest wiring for now, its gonna go away once I figure out where to put my amp.

EDIT: Forgot to add the link to my vid I made of the new box, a lot louder than the old one.

Finished everything today. Here are the pics:

Marked out the hole for the terminal:

After cutting that out, I laid out the carpet and got to work.

First side done

Second side done

All the holes cut out

Tied 2 lengths of wires together to run from the sub to the terminal

And then soldered them to the terminal

Then screwed everything in

Put it into the car

Made an amp rack/stand

carpeted it

The t1500-1bd screwed on

your reading it wrong...no box will give you a 12db gain in any freq...SCIENTIFICLY 12db gain would have to be 4x the cone area and 4x the power...and the adding of cone area will have to be added on the same plain...
