Im not the best with designing boxes. I can do it, but Im sure some member here would love to help you.

[mazdaboom 0]

well i would appreciate that very much thank you.....and thanks for the input

Contact Chad Hicks, via aim @ ChadSSA1.

He designs boxes, and also a SSA sales rep.

I can help you with a box.

Is 57" wide x 20" high x 6" deep (top)/10" deep (bottom) correct? Should be plenty of reeom for a ported Bl 12".

i double checked my measurements and it was 6"td x 9.5" bd x 57"w x 20"h thank you very much for the help.....ford302redneck i also thankyou for the info but i do not use aim

[jonbearsmt 919]

thought you were gonnna ask if you could run it in a small sealed.

[mazdaboom 0]

i did ask and apparently it wont but if i am still able to use it in my application without having to sell it and lose out money because i wont be able to sell it for what i bought it for that would be great. i have my amp already and just installed a alpine 9885 in my truck, just found out my wife is pregnant and she's already tightening up the wallet so any help is greatly appreciated

We put a pair of 10's, a ms 1000 and a sundown 1500 in the back of one of those..

It'l fit you just have to get creative...

Thanks!

Except those were very small sealed enclosures

[mazdaboom 0]

thanks for the input, if someone could help me with a decent sized enclosure that would be great

[BKOLFO4 29]

You could do: 6"td x 9.5" bd x 39"w x 20"h, 4" flared port 13" long.

The 4" precision port is $14, but worth it:

It is not the normal required port area, but the large flare will allow you to use a 4" port with a single 12" sub.

thank you! i will be building this in a few days, i cant thank yall enough for all the input and advice....oh and one question what wil this be tuned to?

Edited February 27, 2008 by mazdaboom

[BKOLFO4 29]

That is pretty close to 2.25 ft^3 tuned to 32 Hz.

Brian

[mazdaboom 0]

thanks buddy...i already ordered the port

[mazdaboom 0]

one more question should the port face up or on the side of the box? and would it make a difference if i put the speaker on the passenger side and the port on the drivers side or vise versa? i havent done a ported truck box beofre so im a little clueless thanks.

[BKOLFO4 29]

I think due to the size of the port, you will have to install it on the end. . . .

[mazdaboom 0]

on the end facing up? or to the side?

[BKOLFO4 29]

I would do the end facing the side.

I am pretty sure the flare end is more than 6" in diameter, and the top of your box is only 6" deep. . .

Brian

[mazdaboom 0]

k thanks buddy and does it matter if the port is facing the passenger or drivers side?

[BKOLFO4 29]

Hard to say. It can make a difference in a competition, it could make a difference to you sitting in the driver's seat. Only way to know is to test.

I built my suburban the standard driver's side port for loudest on the passenger side, but mine ended up being loudest on the driver's side. . .
