12s ported without a doubt 4 cf net with about 60 sq inches of port area if you have the room.. n tune @35

how would it dude? We still dont know what car he has... But if its a monte, then it looks like hes set huh even tho your really cramping those subs in there

thats what I was thinking... One of the Coffin trunks you could fit a dead horse in But yea, OP.. Kinda need details here.

what the hell car are you driving that has a big enough trunk for 2 15s ported without suffocating the subs in there and having a fold down seat?

Nice man, Something weird i did find out.. When we did testing we used the same sub and amp from a master vehicle and put in in 3 different grand ams, just running speaker wire for the testing and shutting the trunk.. Numbers .. Mine ( 96 Grand am GT 2 door ) 142.1 friends ( 2001 GT 2 door ) 142.6 Show participant ( 2003 SE 4 door )139.8 Intervals were about 10 minutes apart.. But for some reason the 4 door was down quite a bit But its nice to see the GAs on here, looks nice btw

Also does that port seem a bit small for the dimensions I had for that box? I was getting some port noise w my lvl 3s

Fo sho

Nice !! What are you running this weekend?? Well at least the grand prixs have room, and so to the newer 99+ grand ams , but my 96 GA has a tiny ass trunk, and i dunno if I should try smething different or not.. Ive always had 12s, probably beause it was the best combo for cone area with the limited room I have.. And the car is only a commuter car/ Beat box So I dont wanna dump a ton of $$ into this one.. which Is why I was checking out 10s and maybe even a single 15 with alot of power.. I wanted to have a daily setup with at least 2K rms .. I already miss my lvl 3s and not having beat is boring as chit, especially when im in my car 8-10 hrs a day

WEll I sold my lvl 3s and I THOUGHT I had them NET @ 4.06 after displacement , but for some weird reason that was not the case It was 4.06 Gross, .87 for port displacement ( 3x13.5x23 ) and .30 for the subs.. So I was only at about 2.9 CF net They still sounded great and I put up my best #s ever with that box ( 145.4 legal , 146.8 driver door open off an Alpine MRp-M2000 ) Also along with the net of the box only being 2.9 CF for 2 12s, I was getting port noise because I didnt have enough port either ( probably should have gone 4" wide ) Which brings me to my question.. If I actually make the optimum enclosure plus more port, this box will be WELL over 5 CF .. It was nearly impossible to get this one in there, so its gonna be tough to go any bigger than MAYBE 4.3 cf GROSS .. So Should I go with 12s again and completely fill the trunk again, or go with 10s and make the optimum size enclosure for them.. Because Im guessing 2 lvl 4 10s would only need about 3 cf MAX, then the port and sub displacement would make it about 4 , Basically what the box I had my 12s in was.. Suggestions?

He means 2 inches on the inside or the outside of the 45 degree cut I think

Wait til you get a real Amp on it. You ain't heard nothin yet. Tested one of my lvl 3 12 on a jl 1000/1 in a. 1.5 cf enclosure tuned to 36 hz. Sounded awesome hit hard got much lower than I was expecting and took the power like a champ. Any idea what amp your gonna go with?

Why not firing back?? I have a 96 Grand am gt , 2 lvl 3 12s and a memphis 1000d, did a legal 145.4 .. No deadner or electrical.. THey dont do to great firing into the cabin.. My buddy had the same issue w his 2001 gt

Well as we know there are TONS of vids on the board, with Steve and alot of the staff having Huge hits on Youtube, Its almost hard to find the best of the best in the mix of everything.. So I guess this thread is for the must see vids.. Broken Windshields, 160+ db, Insane flex, The best hairtricks, etc etc .. I dont know if there is a thread like this, but if there is, please link me to it .. Thanks

Ive used a few Frestool products.. Good , Hell yea.. Practical? lol not for me I have a 6 yr old Makita, and 2 yr old Craftsman circ saws with the thick shoe, and use them both on the job everyday , and they both work great, But I can still understand your fanboyism for frestool.. They make awesome stuff

great list man, thank you! Questions.. The spiral bit seems like it would chew up on the wood on the flush baffle, unless the Jasper jig holds it perfectly in line? And what sizes should I go with for these, unless the ones you linked are the diameter, and depth sizes I would want

Dayum.. How about you just make me a list of the best 5-10 bits I will need if you get some free time lol A kit would be nice, then I can add a few to it, if I need some more

Just checking out Woodcraft now.. Little overwhelming considering theres 100s of bits. Are there general sets with the most commonly used, I cant find them.. Yet.. Another thing, when Tracing existing holes, Im gonna want a flush bit with a bearing, But like you said , to make notches for the carpet, obviously the bearing cant be on there, so what bit will I need to dig down that extra 1/8".. I see a bunch of flush bits with blades on the bottom of it, but without a bearing, doesnt it dog into the wood?

Ahhh i gotcha man, sorry I mis read i think.. I thought you were talking about the width more than the depth to tuck the carpet in .. So how do you like your bits? Just as good as the Freuds and bosches Im assuming? I need a list of all bits you would have , need or want.. I wanna get something ordered up this week. Thanks again to you and everyone who posted

So you cut the Flush piece while both pieces are together? See thats where I would have got something wrong I guess.. I guess I would have clamped both pieces together, found my pilot, took them apart, cut the sub opening and the flush piece separate then glued them together.. If you cut the flush piece while its glued to the sub baffle , wont you cut into the sub baffle a little bit since the flush baffle is obviously larger than the mounting diameter? Or are you just that good

Looks very nice.. But I think you answered my question before the rabbeting bit I think you explained how to add a second baffle to make it a flush mount , correct? I just wanted to add another baffle, no flush mount. So Its still the same ( flush mount bit ) right? But since we are talking flush mount.. How would you do it from scratch? being as your holes must line up perfectly

Got one , but its still in the packaging cant wait to use it tho.. Gonna be alot less time consuming that making my own circle jig and so much cleaner than the jigsaw

Thanks again.. noob question.. Lets say i wanted to flush mount some aeros, which be be Im assuming about a 1/8 notch,, What bit would I use for that. Im not to skilled or knowledgeable on the custom things you can do with routers ( especially in CA ) but would like to learn a bit more.. Or if I had a box fully built but wanted to add another baffle on top of the one I have.. Is it the Flute ( straight bit )? Obviously the holes would be cut out already in the first baffle, so what bit would I used to A) put an oversized piece of mdf on the existing baffle and then just follow along the box for and exact match, and Matching the existing port and sub opening holes // Man I hope that made sense to you guys

Thanks guys. I got 3 good choices now Any suggestions on bits? I am a carpenter so I do use my router a bit at work too, ( not like a cabinet maker or anything ) But I would like to have probably the 10 most used bits.. As for CA builds, the only thing I think I would need is a few round overs, and a flush.. Anywho, Im guessing its best to go with good bits right off the bat? Seeing as how if you get cheap stuff you'll probably make more work in the long run? Just seems like Bits are something where the more you pay the better they really are.. Ive seen a couple of bosch , craftsman, and Freud kits that look nice, but dont know if you guys have anything not so "mainstream" thats just as good for less?

Never had one of my own, bought new, Only a hand me down Dewalt from my step dad, but the motor/brushes are shot Sooooo , just wondering what others are using.. Im guessing they are all around the same RPM, and that they all fit the same bits etc, but I seem to see alot more accessories/bits for Bosch Routers. SO as of nopw thats a top pick, but I also think the new Porter Cables look nice too.. What do you guys think?

exhaust pipe for length, thats what I used
