No carpet as of yet. Lazy probably. I did shoot a vid though. It might be interesting to see what the sub/enclosure could do on more power.

They spec at .17 each. So that needs to be .34. Im having a hard time getting your desired volume with those box dimensions. Is that the max room that you have available?

Just a quick update on the evolution of this little project... I traded out the 8's via Craigslist a few weeks back. This came about because I had a brief stint running a buddies 15 inch P3 that he had layin around. The 15 was not only so much better at reproducing low notes(obviously), but the 300.1 seemed to be holding its own against its new watt hungry load. So an ad was placed... And after multiple dead end text sessions and empty promises, I was finally presented an Oxygen Audio OWP12.4. It was in a tiny sealed box with a couple of dings to the metal cone, but the research done said that this sub was their top of the line from a couple of years ago. So I pulled the trigger, and a new box had to be built. The previous box's amp wiring was a complete spaghetti mess, so I made sure to clean it up on this build. Ive also upgraded my power supply to 4 gauge, but still stock power otherwise. There is still a small bit of trim work yet to do before carpeting, but it is pretty darn close to done. Net volume is 2.15ish with 13 sq in of port. Tuned to 32hz. Still a tiny build I know... But still fun to mess around with just the same. It gets down pretty good, and I may end up taking some new vids. P.S. I would also like to know what others think of my long narrow ports? Im no expert builder and I dont know if they are less efficient or not, but they sound pretty damn clean. Im open to others thoughts on this. Thanks for looking.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. There's some space on the backside of both towers between them and the back seats. When I get around to cleaning up the wiring, I will post up a pic.

while i realize this is pretty weak, im going to post this up of me trying to move air. haha.

Thats it for the box. Im already scheming a way to shoehorn in some DC Lvl 2 10's in the same footprint using the open space over the wheel wells. But that will be for later. Here is yesterdays bass knob install.

Now why on earth would someone post up a build log for something this small? I have a house, 2 kids, and a piece of land Id like to put a house on sometime, so there is not alot of money for car audio in my budget. But I managed to find some deals to get me started in to the car audio realm again after a decade long hiatus. Equip: Kenwood KDC-MP345U Punch 300.1 2 Rockford P1S4-8s Shitty 8 guage amp kit The subs were seperated because I need to be able to fold the seats down to haul bigger stuff around for work. The enclosures are tuned to 37hz.

I have 4 vehicles exactly the same in the garage due to some error pages during setup. I cant find a way to delete the extra 3 of them. help please.

If you are starting to get serious with car audio, you should read every "pinned" thread of the Subs/Enclosure forum. There are ideas abound.

Thanks. Yeah, a 15 is probably a no go. haha. Im really happy with the tuning and it sounds great, even on the lows. Just doesn't move a ton of air. but thats to be expected for only 2 8's on a P300.1.

finally got around to wrapping the box in carpet today. just have to touch up the black in the port and she's all done.

bump. going to start making dust tomorrow. anybody else?

Probably not the best design out there, but this should do the trick. I guessed on the displacement cause a quick search yielded nothing.

As long as its the lows that are louder, I dont see a problem. In all seriousness, should I be designing closer toward 2.66 for better all around response?
