N()()B who needs box help *surprise surprise*

[bentandbroken]

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum. I am doing a simple install in a 2000 Honda accord coupe. I have one of the older model jbl gto 1200 watt mono block amps with a 4ga run from the batt. With no light dimming. And I have an inexpensive Sony head unit running through an alpine ktp445u amp to my highs and mids which are memphis mclass 6.5s in front & 6x9in the back. My sub is a single sundown sa-12 and is seeing roughly 800 watts from that amp. But all that to get to the heart of the issue. I need a box. Or blue prints at least. I want the best box for a mixture of sound quality first but also some spl.

here are some basic space parameters.

height:15" or less

Width:30" or less.

Depth: variable. Up to 25"

I've read the SA-12 performs best with about 2-2.5 cu. ft tuned to about 35hz but I have never build a box before, so I definitely need some guidance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

if you go to re audios website you can use an awesome box calculator for free

it will even tell you what cuts of wood you need

I use it a lot when I build systems

but generally youll want to use about 2-2.25 cubes ittll do better

for example I have a sundown e8v3 and I have it in 1.3 cubes

best of luck to ya

2.25 cubes for a 12?

in another post he said he listens to a lot of mix from rock and rap to country

so 2-2.25 would be good for sq

Don't use the RE calculator, use Torres. There's a free download on this site.
