Box Build for 12's (Pics)

Well i got a pair of subs that i absolutely love, But i needed a new box because the current box i had was too tall. And the down fire i had just built, i just didn't care for the sound. But any how, here are some pics of all the progress.


This new box is roughly 1.4cft per sub!
















Some of the screw are there for a temporary hold since i don't own a nail gun. The mounting board will be on sometime this week!

Thanks!

Build looks good.

What did you not like about the sound of the other box?

I have a seat lift coming for my bro's truck and am still trying to figure out how to do the box. Am going to run a single 12 ported... 2 ft^ ~32hz.

Idk, just wasn't what i liked, the subs didnt seem to perform as they did up, and the sound was almost muffled. I think it was the lack of space for the cone/surround to fully breath.

Looks good, can't wait to see it finished. At least you can build a box, I wish I could for my truck.
