Trying to build a box for my level 2 12inch

[JohnnyF]

Hey everyone, newbie to the forums here and looking for some guidance. I have a 2012 civic lx coupe and bought a whole setup for it. I have a 12'' dc level 2 sub, but I still need to make a box. I want to make the box absolutely perfect, so I came here for help. I have all the tools and skill to make a box but not sure on what dimensions to use. I measured out in my trunk I can fit at the maximum a 15x15x30 box. I know I want to have a port but not sure exactly on how to go abouts making it.

I did come across a sub box calculator but I have NO idea on what information to put in this. Anyone think they can give me a hand?

Calculator:

DC Sub stats for a 12'':

Thanks!

Enter the fields of that Torres calculator(which is the box maker you found) as follows: Height-15" Width-24" Depth-15". Make your port height 13.5"(to take into account that the top plate of the box and bottom are both 3/4" birch or MDF) and Width-2". The port length should be 28 inches(it will turn 90 degrees and head down the width of the box inside) and that should put you tuned in the LOW 36 Hz range after displacement of the sub AND the L-port. You're welcome

Here is the box and specs I came up with for my setup.

Edit- I'm getting a level 2 12" as well and I'm going to put about 700 rms to it.

And here is the sketch up I made of it:

Hope this helps man!
