Box for one (1) Sundown X12

[Syphlyn]

Hey guys as soon as my old system is sold I'm going to order a Sundown X12 & Alpine PDX-M12. Not sure whether to wire the sub to 2 ohm or 4 ohm as the M12 puts out 1200w on both 2/4 ohm.

Anyways I'm trying to design a box and really can't find any recommendations for a box for this sub.

- It'll be going in a 2000 F150 extended cab, sitting on the rear seat

Max dem:

Height: 16

Width: 35

Depth: 18

So far I've gathered (but could be completely wrong)

- 16 sq inches of port/cubic foot

- Should be 2 cu ft - 3 cu ft

- tuned to 30-32hz

Not really sure what to do, this'll be my first box. I believe I'm fairly capable with woodworking so that shouldn't be an issue. I have and am experimenting with Torres but can't really get anything to "work" here's an example:

Not sure if I have the correct volume/port area ect...

Please help! I'm really looking forward to this project and should be a fun learning experience!

Get a D2 sub, you can run it at 4 on the Alpine and later if you change amps it could be wired down to 1. As far as box specs, there is a recommended box on Sundown's site. http://www.sundownaudio.com/index.php/products/subwoofers/item/x-series.html

Doesn't list the specs or the tuning for the box. So it's completely useless to me...

Download sketchup, put the box specs in torress, it will lead you the right way. Or call and ask, they have great cs!

add a 6inch flared aero port 24 inches long.

it will put you at 3.6 cubic foot gross with a 30hz tune.

Also wouldn't hurt to look at some different Amps.

getting a bad azz sub and that amp... well it's up to you

If you have those 40/60 rear seats I would likely recommend a box like the one timc31610 has done.

Yeah I have those!

Also feel free to suggest other amps, not 100% set on this one.

I definitely wouldn't sit a box on the rear seat, you will get much better output with it sitting solidly on the floor.
