The first thing you need to do first is get some cardboard and make the biggest box you can physically slide into your trunk. This way you will know exactly what you have to work with.

Like you said it's hard to get sound into the cabin. Those cars have pretty thick seats. To get the most potential you will want to have your seats lowered. As far as the quality of sound is concerned in a properly built ported or sealed box you aren't going to be able to tell the difference. To gain maximum output you will want to face the sub(s) forward. And use the maximum amount of port as possible. Regaurdless of what people will tell you using proper port area will give you a noticeable difference in output. This has been tested and proven by some the best transducer designers in the industry.

Ill take that as some form of sarcasm

ok, im just really hoping this works out. ive tryed with ported enclosures but im just not having luck lol. i dont have much expierence with ported and every single one ive ever built sounded like shit. and now with my charger im mind fucked with trying to solve my problem. i went to big with the 18'' but i think i can make it work out (one day) eventually. Just recently i had a 6cuft box with an 8'' pvc tuned to 33hz half internal half external shooting thru the left rear seat. but of course once again SHITTY. And this one is gonna turn out just as horrible. You can't expect to cram 10lbs in a 5lb bag and have everything turn out wonderful.

You need to google ohms law first. Then the definition of efficiency. It may answer some of that question.

What they all said. Plus if you purchase your wire from. www.weldingsupply.com It'll be cheaper to do one larger run rather than two smaller runs.

external 38" wide x 27.25" tall x 41" deep

4 12 inch subs 7.25 cubic feet net 257 square inches of port area tuned to 32 hertz

If the amp was ever turned on without the crossovers installed or if the amp was mounted directly to the vehicles metal it might be the reason why it's broke.

Maybe I have worded it wrong. You can typically cram a bandpass in a smaller area due to physical area of the way it can be positioned in the vehicle. For example you could shoe horn a bandpass to go thru a ski hole but it might not be logical or possible to get a big ported box to work.

The only reason to use a bandpass box over a ported enclosure is if you are restrained by space. You will almost always have a better response and be just as loud if not louder by going ported especially on the "lows" as a bandpass enclosure will normally start to rolloff relatively high compared to ported.

The 4th or 6th is the rate of roll of the enclosure has. It has nothing to do with style or "type" of enclosure. People normally prefer 4th order has a rolloff rate of 24db per octave.

That's a personal preference. Which roll off do you prefer.

That would be the reason. You are going to need your max deminsions including where the port needs to be located to fire into the ski hole.

Curious if there is a specific reason the guys at STEP use that specific pattern for the mounting holes? Same thing they did on the UL12. Hard to tell by the drawing. But the "Square" is 12.5" OD. Same OD as typical 12's. so I can get 25-30% more Sd than normal frames. Or I can go up to a 2.75 wide surround and keep the same amount of Sd which is needed for the MMAG motors I'm working with.

^ what he said limited reasons to use one.

Audibel Customs was set up as a DBA. It's a long and expensive process in Louisiana to change a DBA to a LLC so I just dropped it. Ah, that's too bad, I love your AC logo. You mean the Pinnacle Acoustics logo? Pinnacle Acoustics will be used for all my MMAG subs.

Don't assume I chose the name as a play off of Mark and Arron. I highly doubt anyone will confuse DSS for SSA. Mobile Sound Solutions have been around a lot longer than SSA and no one I know confuses Mark and Arron for Brian Scmitt. And Direct Audio Solutions is a registered name in Louisiana. It was actually my first choice.

The Feds didn't have a problem with it. And the name explains the company. I sell car audio solutions directly from the manufacturer to the consumer.

Cap looks like this. Logo is engraved into the cap and will have a blue metalic inlay.

In for pre-order greatness.... Hope it all works out man! Well the money is already spent. So I'll sell em all or have a hundred boat anchors for sale.

Yep standard 12 spoke.

No 10's on this order. But they would be around 7.75 inches mounting depth. The motor itself is 125mm tall.

Looking at around 90 days till everything comes in. So I'll say ETA will be 2nd week of March. I will only have 12's and 15's avaliable for this first run. On Jan 1st I am going to start a pre-order. The below is Shipped pricing to the lower 48. It'll save you about 40 bucks off or normal pricing plus shipping. The 12 weighs roughly 65 pounds. 12"= $290 15"= $300
