Finding/building the right enclosure for my RSX

I have two 12" Fosgate T2's in a box built to cubic feet specs that sat in the back of my old SUV. I got rid of the SUV for my 06 Acura RSX and this huge box in my car is a joke. It doesn't fit, at all, i had to drop on side of the back seat and put it in sideways. So basically my car is now a three seater. I was wondering if i could get some advice on what i should request when i go to get a new box built. It seems like shops around here don't really care about getting the specs right, they just wanna build a box with two holes in it and call it a day. I don't know much about the requirements for the T2's and any help would be appreciated.

I'm going to assume your using a bandpass enclosure which would explain the size. In a suv that would be the ideal choice for max power output. Since your in the same compartment bandpass usually is the best choice for that. To save space I would go sealed, your will most def be able to get that enclosure in the rsx. rftech shows these specs

Vb 56.63 Liters icon_question.gif F3 44.4 Hz icon_question.gif Qtc 0.68 icon_question.gif Height 44.45 cm (17.5 in.) icon_question.gif Width 52.07 cm (20.5 in.) icon_question.gif Depth 35.56 cm (14 in.) icon_question.gif Spk. Cutout 35.08 cm (13.812 in.) icon_question.gif Spk. Depth 25.08 cm (9.875 in.) icon_question.gif Vd 4.98 Liters

So your just going to use these numbers times 2.

The box is going to be 3.75ft^3 tuned to 34hz via a 14.5"x3.5" port. The overall dimensions are 36" wide x 16" tall x 18" deep. Everything is going to be sandwiched between the top and bottom pieces, so naturally everything between them will be 14.5" tall.

Cut List
top and bottom: 2x - 36"x18"
front: 31.75"x14.5"
sides: 2x - 17.25"x14.5"
back: 35.25"x14.5"
port: 12.25"x14.5", 6"x14.5", 5.25"x14.5", and 3"x14.5"
45° corners: 3.75"x14.5" in the port, 3"x14.5" in the chamber.
bracing: 16.5"x14.5" for a 1.5" wide window brace.
