Building a box for a Fi Q12. Any input?


Recommended Posts

Move the sub away from the port opening inside the box. closer to where it opens on the other side of the box

Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

More box builds

some cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches!

I'm with captain stupid.

I'd completely avoid firng the sub and port forward, if possible. Either sub forward and port up, or sub up and port towards the passenger side.

Ram - i dont really even have enough room (depth wise) to do a top mount box. Any reason I should avoid port forward and sub forward?

Alright, so when I measured the displacement of my 45's I did something very wrong, so when I went back and rechecked everything I found out that the net volume was actually about 2.6 cubic feet and tuned to 29 hertz...

So after doing a bit of redesigning (and triple checking everything...) this is my current box design, and hopefully the one I'll be able to stick with:

I made sure that the skinniest part of the port bend was 2.25, as to avoid bottle necking.

I'm looking forward to coming home from vacation to get this thing done!

Looks good. a tad large, but shouldn't hurt anything. take plenty of pics of this build!

The size specs for a ported box for a q12 is 1.8 - 2.5, so it should work out well. It will be a bit big while I have my Type R though. I might just make a build thread for my truck once I get home in about two weeks.
