12" Subs SI Mag D2, (2) JL 12W6 (v1 version), Adire Brahma

Yeah, I was surprised when the SI owner said there was a dealer in Hawaii. I spend a lot on my Mag for shipping, and then find out about a Hawaii dealer. Then I find out it's in Hilo, and I'm in Honolulu so I didn't feel to bad (I still would have had to deal with shipping). Maybe when the superferry goes to the Big Island, I'll stop by and grab a sub.

No, I don't have the Mach 460. And whatever you can throw together for me would be great.

I just got a 12" Mag from Low-Hz, and currently have it in my old sealed box that housed a JL 12w6(v1). That box has about 0.8 cubic ft. after driver displacement. Anyway, I was planning on building a ported box and got this off the net: http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported...=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0 I was all set on building it, but decided to read more, and the more I read, the more I get confused and hesitant. So I decided to ask the official SI site for input. I want the best ported box with a maximum width of 30" and max height of 13". It's going into a 95 Ford Mustang, and I would like the box to fit perfectly into the hole when you fold down the seats. The reason I need it to fit in that hole, is because I've gotten two flat tires in the past 3 years, so I need to be able to push the box into the cab in order to get my spare out. I was wondering if the box above is a good design, and if it's not, please let me know of a better one. Also, I'm picking up the MDF from Home Depot this weekend, so the quicker I get input, the quicker I can get started. Anyway, the music I listen to is anything and everything. From Rancid to Wutang, to Jr Gong Marley, to Jack Johnson and everything in between. What would be a good tune for all these music.

Yeah, while searching this forums, tirefryr's name came up a lot, and thought, "maybe if I posted, he'll help me out". I'm not confused about that box design. It's pretty straight forward. I'm second guessing everything because I was doing a bunch of searches on this board and other boards and read people saying to round 90 degree corners in the port, have the port hole in the middle of the box (I think I read that). Also, I read that thread "secrets to box building" on here with all the different type of enclosures, and it looks like the box above is more a "transmission line" enclosure. All this different information just makes me second guess myself and the enclosure I picked. Also, I figured, out of all the boards out there, this one must be the one with the most people experienced with the SI Mag. So it wouldn't hurt to ask this question here. But if you say that's a pretty good design, then I believe you and I'll get started this weekend. I don't know how your tires got flat, but the both times mines got flat, it's because the sidewall got slashed (one by a pothole, and I don't know how the other happened) So my flats means new tires, which is friggin expensive. But 10 flats in the last 2 years does suck. EDIT: The above box is a 2.0 ft^3 enclosure. I used 2.0 ft^3 because the SI site said a ported box: 1.5 cubes tuned to 32 Hz and 2 cubes tuned to 28 Hz. Well, the SI site changed with the addition of the BM. Now the Mag link says for a ported box: 2 ft^3 tuned to 32 Hz. Should I change my box volume?
