Alpine SWS 12D4 Enclosure Help


Recommended Posts

I am very new to most things car audio, and being new I am not really looking to build a box to the exact specifications of my subwoofers manual. I would like to find something as close as I can get however. and I'm looking for suggestions.

The sub is wired to 2 ohms

My setup is

Subwoofer: http://alpine-usa.com/product/view/sws-12d4

Amp: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Digital+Series/GM-D8601

Box: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/metra-12-single-ported-subwoofer-enclosure-charcoal/6504011.p?id=1218747923938&skuId=6504011

I am completely oblivious to whether my current box is even close to what my sub should have. It was just what was available and cheap with my discount.

I'm looking for something close to the manufacturer's recommended specs (if they are whats best).

The specifications can be found on the right side of page three of the manual in this link.

I'm looking for the Vented box.

your current box is around 1.35-1.4 cu. in. which is pretty close to specs for the Alpine. the problem is the port is pretty small. the box specs does not show port measurements but im guessing around 1-1.5 inches wide and 20 inches long which puts the tune around 40, which is pretty high.
