WadeTustian Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 hello, my friend has a kicker l5 12 inch sub in his 2001 ford focus hatchback, the thing is its in a sealed box and he likes it loud so I'm trying to get him to buy a ported box, but he doesn't wanna loose a lot of sound quality. from what i read running a ported box is like doubling wattage on a sealed box? anyway here is one of the boxes he is looking at http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7285_12-Square-Hole-Long-Rear-Slot-Ported-Enclosure-for-Kicker-Solo-Baric-L3-L7-Subwoofers-121KP.html or this one? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3-CU-FT-VENTED-12-KICKER-SoloBaric-L3-L5-L7-SUB-BOX-/400266540333?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d31beb52d#ht_2238wt_1001 also he probably would build a box but doesn't have the materials, and tools. there is this other box here on ebay, i donno what one is better? what one will be louder? 2007 Mazda 3 Sedan Pioneer 80-prsB2 Zero.7 2 15s 4inch coil psi recones temp til my subs are reconedFocal P165-v15Audison voce quattro fully activeOnly gonna get louder 146.1 at 38hz 138.x at 24hzBuild log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/191444-mazda-3-sedan-sql-build-audisonfocalb2aa/
carshateme Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Second box... Front ports are mainly preferred..they sound a little better. Although...you can make that box for half the price and the longest it'll take is a day. New build coming soon.

bassrace Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Do'nt buy those prefabs for those squares, the prefabs for those suck ass. You'll be louder with a sealed box rather than a horribly designed ported box. I say get a design made up from someone on here then got to lowes or home depot and have them cut everything, then all you'd have to do is glue, then make a hole for the sub which a local audio store or wood working place should do it for 10$. That would be cheaper and wayy better than buying a prefab online.... 145.9@40hz 145.3@34hz big 3 X2 group 34 Deka Group 31 All 0/1 awg jl meta wire Alpine CDA 7894 Orion HCCA D5000 2 AQ HDC312's Crunch gpv1100.2 (for 6.5"s only) AQ pro audio 6.5" - 3 sets AQ supertweeters - 2 sets 2000 Slamry
mattc3366 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 I just got wood at lowes and what I do is get my pieces cut 2 inches bigger on all the dimensions and cut it down myself. I don't have many tools so I use a jig saw for cutting. All you need is a good eye for straight cuts subwoofers - two eclipse 88120s box - 3.4 cubes tuned to 32 hz amps - aq1200 and pheonix gold zx450 New build : 2 obsidian audio 15s same amp 6.1 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hz in a civic hatch
WadeTustian Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 thanks everyone , i did build my dad a box for his truck and it did fit, just never got around to putting a sub into it so i think i would be able to build a box hopefully next semester in school, im just wondering who i would be able to contact on here for a box design, i would def do that, what would be best for a port? it is in a hatchback and currently the sub is faceing the trunk, not sure what would be louder? but yes if someone could get me a box design for a 12 kicker l5 that would be wonderful 2007 Mazda 3 Sedan Pioneer 80-prsB2 Zero.7 2 15s 4inch coil psi recones temp til my subs are reconedFocal P165-v15Audison voce quattro fully activeOnly gonna get louder 146.1 at 38hz 138.x at 24hzBuild log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/191444-mazda-3-sedan-sql-build-audisonfocalb2aa/
