PinkFreud65 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 I'm looking to build a box for a single 12 (or 15 if I can fit it in the trunk!) most likely, a Sundown X series on a CAB 1600.1. Trunk dimensions are: 41"w X 18"h X 20"L then the trunk gets wider and it's like an additional 10-12" from there. not certain on the actual trunk opening I can check later. I have no idea what type of box and port combo I would want to build to get the best results. I know that I will seal my trunk and I want to get loud. But I'm not too knowledgeable about different types of enclosures. So just help me learn and I can them make an informed decision lol
island boyeee Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 I'm in a similar boat. Little less available volume, but also looking to build something ported, facing the cabin, sealing off the trunk.
PinkFreud65 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Posted September 8, 2016 I've heard sealing the trunk and porting into the cabin would be best...but like what type of enclosure and port u should go with is baffling.....pun intended.
DLHgn Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 You don't have very much room so your best bet would be to just do a standard ported box. As for slot or Aero it really depends on your design. Also not that an actual aero port is pretty pricey. Most find it easier to do a slot port but if you can fit a aero port or some sort of tube port then go for it. They're more efficient and generally take up less box volume (assuming the port is in the box).
PinkFreud65 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Posted September 9, 2016 yeah, I assumed I didn't have enough room for a 4th order. I'm just looking for the most efficient and loud box I can design.
PinkFreud65 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Posted September 11, 2016 so....I'm still looking for some input. I'm ordering an x 12 soon, but I need to decide what type of enclosure to go with. I've read about T-lines being great. I'm still not sure though. I can use all the trunk space I want, I just need some guidance.

I've read about T-lines being great. I'm still not sure though.

PinkFreud65 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Posted September 11, 2016 That's what I've seen also. I'm just wondering if I can make a T-line work with my trunk. That's why I'm looking for the most efficient and loudest type of enclosure I can cram into my trunk. I just finished reading through a build log on here of a guy with my vehicle running 2 12s and hitting 150+ on the dash. I'm not looking to compete, yet, but I want to be loud. I want to be clearly louder than the "pawn shop build" guys.

PinkFreud65 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Posted September 11, 2016 It also seems to me that if I could do a T-line, I wouldn't want to run the 1600w I'm capable of putting to the woofer. I've seen most people stay under 800w with T-lines. But I'm still learning so much! haha
