Two 12's box, 5 cubes

Recommended Posts

Starting a box for a friend tomorrow. He has 2 12in kicker cvr's in a prefab box with the ports stuffed with towels because it's way to small to be ported. Lol

I will be building a 5 cu box tuned at 32hz. Dimensions are 36w x26d x15h, port is 5in x 13.5in and around 26 in long. It will be 3/4, double baffled and 1in dowel braced. He doesn't have much power JLa1400 (500rms)

Should be good for when he can get some real subs and a bigger amp. It's going in a Cadillac deville trunk rear facing.

Opinions are welcome., although after spending about a hour making the cut sheet I am pretty set on it, lol.

Can post pics during build if anyone wants to see it, should be a huge improvement!!

This thing should really pound when he gets some real subs and amp. I am gonna push for him to run some SSA or FI subs and Sundown amp equipment.

decided to cover it in leather instead, filled all holes and sanded entire box first. Turned out good I think. Looks killer in his trunk.

Did an awesome job on the wrapping, especially the edges.

Wow, I love that box. Where'd you get the leather?

Not saying this is where he got it, especially since they just stopped carrying some leather, but people seem to have good luck with: http://www.yourautotrim.com/
