Is it a dumb question? maybe, are you dumb for asking it?? NOT AT ALL!!! That´s why forums exist, so you can get as much help as you get before doing something wrong; About the question, boxes don´t have to be exact to the manual, depends on a lot of factors, i haven´t look at the recommended box on a manual for a few years now lol, so don´t worry about that.

P.S: 2.25 and 2.225 it´s the same thing, you are not gonna harm anything, or even hear a difference between each other, so don´t worry that much mate :)

Im looking for any one who can help me desisgn a ported four twelve box for a 1992 caprice. I have 4 re audio sex 12s on a soundstream tx1.2600. I might be getting two planet audio 1400s. Im trying to build my own box because my box builder got too expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

for starters make your own thread so that more people will see it, on that thread you need to include certain info.

sub displacement?

port or no port?

if ported where do you want it tuned at?

spl or sq build? im guessing spl

net volume needed per sub?

dimensions of the trunk?

It's the 2.25 + port displacement + driver displacement and that's the internal volume of the box not the external.

lol, I was thinking the same thing when I read the 1st post. I had a 12" Kicker CVX several years ago and that also called for a 2.25 cu ft enclosure for their "Deep Bass/SPL" box. Like Joe said, don't forget to figure in the correct size port you'll need, plus the displacement of the sub when figuring in the port. Pretty sure it was over 3 cubes when all this was figured in, unfortunately I don't keep old specs for boxes I build.
