I'm planning a box for a trunk setup w/ folding rear seat. The subwoofer will be facing the rear and port at the rear or side, and enclosure moved as close to the cabin. What is the rule on height and width clearance of the enclosure in relation to the rear deck and side panels? Is there supposed to be space in between? Can either be flush?

I have a '17 Challenger I want to add some bass to as I only have the 6-speaker factory Alpine system with no subs. I'm back and forth with what I want to run as far as sub stage and need some advice. The goal is for good SQ while still getting a little SPL. I have a little over 2 cubes max in the trunk, but I'd rather use less than that. I also want a lightweight setup as I'm looking to have a birch enclosure made for it and would want the smallest setup possible that fits my goals. I wanted to try a ported single 8" but can't seem to find any good examples in trunk setups which makes me think it wouldn't be worth it, and just step up to a 10". I have about 900-12000rms to play with on the amp. I've been eyeing the following 8"s for a .5-.75ft^3 ported box -Soundqubed HDS2.108 -Sundown SA-8 -SSA F8L I also have laying around an early model SSA Icon 10" or Sundown reconed Stereo Integrity BM 10" that I was thinking of having a 1ft^3 net ported box done. Any advice or direction is appreciated.

I get what you're saying. I think with the ported 8, the wow factor of it seems cool and always wanted to try one.

Just wanted to try something with a smaller footprint. I'm looking to save as much weight and space with this setup. Max dimensions are 31.5"L x 12"D x 12"H.

I have an Icon 10" from 2009. Can anyone tell me what gen model this is and the rated RMS? Also are the enclosure recommendations on the website for the current icon about the same? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the input. I might've confused you guys as I'm not trying to go lower than 1 ft^3, but shooting for a 1 ft^3 net box with an aeroport. Just wondering if I have to compensate with more power or if I'm losing out on anything by not going bigger to the optimal size of 1.5 ft^3.

Thanks Aaron. I'm planning on running it on the smaller side with a 1 cube net ported box. I read if I go smaller on the box that it could take more power, but does that necessarily mean I need more power for it to sound good, or is that just a benefit?

Yes, triple stack. Exactly, I know there were different RMS ratings but was just curious what this one had in terms of what power to throw at it.

I'll need to get a picture of it later. But it has the red and white logo bubble dust cap and pole vent on the magnet.

Quick question. I know the recommended is 1 cube, but what is the smallest size box you can use for an SA-12 with 1-1.2k watts rms? Thanks!

The power handling is fine at the rms ratting in either enclosure, but if you are planning on pushing much more then ratted, go with the smaller enclosure size. We provide a range of where our sub woofers preform very well, giving people a nice range of options, especially if space or power or goals are limiting factors. Sounds good. Also, is there anything to gain in music quality with either choice? Will the smaller box be louder and lose sq than the optimal or are the differences between either very minimal?

What is the difference when it comes to small and optimal in a sealed box for an icon using the recommended power handling?

I have an old SSA Icon 10" laying around somwhere in my garage that I want to use. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the actual weight on those are and if it is okay to use with a single baffle on the enclosure. Its gonna be in a sealed box with 1000-1200 watts max.

No editing needed, just wanted to clear up the sizing with you first before I made the deposit.

Tried emailing you a couple times but just figured to post it up on here. Vehicle Make and Model: 1992 Mercedes 190E Direct of Box/Subs: Sub back, port driver side Sealed or Ported: Ported (aeroport) Number of Subs: 1 Brand and Model of Subs: Sundown SA-12 D2 Max Dimensions: 32w x 14d x 14h Zip Code for Shipping Quote: 94015 Any other notes: 1.5 cubes @ 35hz. Double baffle. Can I get two quotes, one for a bare box (no carpet) and the other for the whole outside of the enclosure painted flat black. For sub/port orientation if you have a better idea to go with, there is a rear firewall and gas tank between the trunk and rear seats but there is an opening in the rear deck for airflow. The last ported setup I had was sub/port back where it sounded the loudest and I just based this enclosure off of that, and that the aeroport would need to be on the side.

Just making sure but on the invoice you sent, the dimensions say that the depth is 24 inches but it is really supposed to be 14 inches.

Sounds good. I'll pm you my email so you can send a paypal invoice.

Do you recommend getting a double baffle also or is the flush mount alone suitable?

Will it work if the areoport is coming out of the side (driver side) or can a slot port work with the dimensions?

Sounds good. I'll go with the matte black paint. Ready to get a design going.

Ok. Flush mount sounds good too. How much am I looking at for it to be painted matte black?

Yeah, if you can fill the staple holes, etc. The finish doesnt have to be perfect, just want something other than carpet to waterproof the box and don't wanna do a bedliner because I dont like the rough texture finish. Also, on top of the double baffle, will adding a flush mount add a significant amount to the weight? Just a thought.

I recently just got a SA-12 D2 in a 1 cube sealed box running off an AQ1200d at 1 ohm. I wanna get a ported box and was wondering what size and tuning I should go with if I mainly listen to rap, going for more spl, and is good with the power level I'm using. I originally thought to go with 1.5 cubes w/ 35 hz tuning. Does that sound about right or should I go with something else?

I know that much but just trrying to figure out if I'll be gaining anything by going smaller than 1.5. Like lets say 1 cube as Jacob suggests on the website.

No access to a TL but I was just gonna go with 35hz. Would there be any reason to go smaller than 1.5 cubes since I have double the RMS of power or am I good?
