will my current box be sufficient enough?

Recommended Posts

ok, so i have my subs and i have figured out the amp to power them. now i need to figure out if the box that i have will be sufficient or if i am better off with a different design. the following is as much useful information as i can think of, but if you need anymore just ask. also haven't been able to find detailed specs on the speakers, so i don't know fo, qes, xmax or anything like that, that's why i need your help. haven't found anyone that has that info either, so hopefully you all can still throw me some input. thanks.

car: 99 altima

subs: pair of 12" american bass vfl1266

amp: rockford t1500

current box: sealed 34x14x14 3/4mdf

music: mostly juggalo beats and nu-metal like slipknot, manson, mudvayne, etc

empty trunk: 14 cu ft

correction! just found the following information if it helps

Vas (liter) 142.41 Fs (Hz) 23.06 Qts 0.33

Your box is 2.93873^3ft large.

VFL 12

Based on what that woofer looks like..... your box is NOT going to work.

That is a ported only woofer. For sure.

that is not the sub that i have, will post pics of mine. but if i do still need a ported instead of sealed, based on the rest of my info, what would be a good size and frequency for the box?

That looks to be an Eminence built driver. Most likely designed for a sealed box, but I don't know for sure.

Contact American Bass and ask is probably the best advice.
