Haha, yeah I know we're all pic whores. It's a very small box, and isn't very impressive to look at.
But I'll get some pics up, maybe a couple hairtrick vids too.

I just googled port calculator. I used this link: http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=31

Wow, thanks for the quick replies guys.
n8ball2013, You're exactly right. This setup was only enough for about the first week.
I'm trying to figure out how I can make it louder without buying two of everything.
Thanks EclipseChris, and feel free to send any of that 1/0 my way.
SMD seems like a very nice community. I'm glad to be here.

Hey guys and gals,
I just started into building bass in my ride. So I haven't spent much time or money on it yet but this is what I have so far:
1 Pioneer (don't flame too bad) TSW3002D4, 12 inch sub in a 1.2 cube ported box, tuned at about 37hz.
Powered by a Hifonics BRUTUS 1700.1d.
The sub is dual 4Ω wired to 2Ω so the amp is feeding 1200wrms.
The sub is in the trunk firing back, port up. I have a cheap mic based dB meter that metered the setup at about 115 on music.
That was with the trunk all sealed up and voltage drop I'm guessing into the 12.7 range.
So I'm wondering do you guys think that is decent for a first try cheap trunk setup.
Remember it's my first try and I'm not trying to compete at the drags or anything.
I'm just trying to figure out if I should be getting more out of my current setup.
Any and all input is welcome and appreciated.

I'm keeping an eye on this for when my mom gives up her van. I want it.

Nice! This should be a cool box when it's done.
Maybe you should also buy a tripod?

If you have a razor blade or x-acto knife you can cut the insulation off.
I use that a lot if I'm messin' wit the small stuff.
haha
1200W in the trunk...UPDATE p2

I would be...I don't even know man, but there's no way it would even be able to come close to a hair trick yet.
115dB isn't moving a lot of air.
