HDS312 Enclosure

[krazz619]

Hey guys,

So I plan on buying a HDS312 soon along with SQ's Q1-1200D. I already got the electrical figured out, only issue is the box. I have 0 experience with subwoofer enclosures, so I need all the help I can get.

Right now I wanna figure out the dimensions for the best box I can get, then get the pieces cut at like a Home Depot, and glue/screw everything together myself.

So my questions:

Can anyone make me a box design?

Can someone direct me to an already designed box that I should just use?

Can someone tell me what and how to figure it all out myself?

(I prefer the first 2 lol)

For some specs, I prefer to keep the box 32" or less in length, hopefully depth and height won't be ridiculous for 1 sub. I was thinking around 2-2.5cu ft. and maybe 32-34hz? Unless there is something better please tell me. Also I wanna get some 45s in there and round things out.

Also, i'd like both sub and port facing same side (so both are facing towards my trunk)

Thanks ahead of time.

Kindly post your max boot dimensions and the car its going into.

So here is a suggestion, if this is a trunk car as you seem to suggest the dimensions below should work but you have to make sure, power: to sub rated, amp subsonic filter to 28Hz, minimum port clearance 3", figure is just an assembly guide:

NOTE: If building outside you need to build a cardboard dummy box to test fit in it's way inside.

Awesome, thank you Joe. I'll definitely save this, exactly what I've been trying to find. And yes it's going in a trunk car, 2001 Corolla, but I kinda want it capable of fitting other trunk vehicles since I won't be keeping this car forever

Quick question, can I do a flush mount since its double baffle, or should I keep it like the picture and mount the sub over both pieces?

If you are experienced at box building you can do the flush mounting if you want, those usually don't end up looking too nice unless you have a router.
