    12 ported = cost of wood.  ive got mine 1.5 tuned to 32 and it gets freakin louder than ill ever want it.

    I think that might be what I try. Next weekend I glass my spare tire well to see what kind of volume I get, I'm expecting about 1.25 to 1.5 ft^3.

    The fun part will be figuring out how to build up from the spare well to get more room and incorporate a port. I can't think of a clean way of doing it yet, but maybe when I get the glass base built some ideas will start flowing.

    hrmm...the other option I'm thinking is a 15 in 2.1 sealed since the 15 only weighs 4 lbs more. I hate to say what was once loud only took a few weaks for me to want more :ughdunno:

    I don't think I could go much bigger than 1.5 at 34 without getting to big/heavy with a slot port

    12 ported = the cost of wood

    15 ported = 275 bucks and a 12 layin around I don't need anymore

    What to do what to do...SS needs an upgrade program :)

    Ok, have been diggin the 12 in its sealed box. I'm planning on building an enclosure using the spare tire well now to lower the weight in the car, secure it a bit better. I constantly fear sending the box/sub flying when I corner/accelerate hard.

    With the new enclosure I'm thinking about trying ported. I listen to mostly rock with the occasional bit of rap thrown in. Would the 1.5 at 34hz still give me the tight kick drum that I dig so much in the sealed box?

    Also with the new enclosure the sub will be facing up...will I be losing alot of gain from going up instead of back?

    Well fired up my system for the first time today. I'm digging this 12. I thought since I have a trunk car (06 mustang) it couldn't get loud, I was wrong. I did the recommended 1.2 sealed box and with only 600 watts it gets plenty loud/low and sounds extremely good doing it.

    I do believe this thing would take a good deal more power though, its barely moving with the 600w I am giving it.

    Thanks to Mike for the great sub and the great price. I am extremely pleased with the sub. Unfortunately my digicam is MIA so no pics :(

    I have 260w worth of front stage and it can't hang with this 12, guess its time for more power up front :)

    Thanks for the discount, every bit helps when your over-extended on a car to begin with :thanx:

    Will be about a month before all my parts arrive and I can finish this install. Can't wait to hear what this thing does for the low end of my setup. I'm doing the 1.2 ft sealed for the 12. Should I half stuff, full stuff, no stuff it?

    Happy 4th of july all.

    Mike, I didn't want to add to your stack of emails come Monday but I just ordered up an rlp-12, couldn't resist. I've only had my car a few weeks and the "shaker 500" system ain't cuttin it. Hopefully this guy in a small sealed box will help things along :)

    Enjoy the time off, I'm in no hurry to get the sub, too many other things to buy before I can throw it in the car.
