building a box for my rl-p's

[iceteebone 0]

i'm gonna be feeding each of my 12" rl-p's about 1200 watts rms a pice and want to build a sealed box. i'm thinking 1 cube each will work well. what do you guys think?

iceteebone! First off, allow me to thank you for the name-dropping you do around the various forums when people are looking to work a driver into an application that the RL-p will excel in, I really do appreciate it and am very happy that you are happy with your RL-pizzies!

That said, I think you're on the right track and that the 1 cu ft net volume (1.18 cu ft gross internal) would be a good place to start given the ungodly amount of power you are throwing at that poor little RL-p

You might even consider movin' up to 1.2 net if you want a little more extension down low, along with a little more output up high - but it's all up to you, with that amount of power the 1.0 net should do ya well.

1.15CF net and 1,200 watts is a great combo.

1.25 sealed will rock your world with 1200 watts, dude. Carefull with the gains though, with that much power on tap, clipping can kill your sub quick.

I like what finebar suggested

what if i made it 1 cube per sub and added polyfill? i would really like to gain as much room as possible in my trunk.

It could work, but you will give up some low-frequency extension along with overall output.

I would strive for at least 1.2 cu ft gross internal volume w/ 1 to 2 lbs polyfill.

i can do 1.1 cubes (that is after the driver displacement) and then add a pound or 2 of polyfill to each chamber?

i know they can get loud. i used to have them ported in my jeep run off a pg tantrum 1200.1. now i have a car and want a smaller box.

1.1 after displacement should be good to go!
