Oh, I will post numbers :) Don't expect anything out of this world though....I'm only running a memphis 500D (old school chrome chassis) to it.

still fun to see what stuff can do. especially on low power like that.

and even better than posted numbers are videos to prove it

with woofer porn :santa:

I'm not much of a youtube guy, but I guess I do have to become one, don't I? Pics of the meter in the car take the measurement not good enough porn :) ? You know, I remember when we didn't have internet porn and we had to look at pictures...in magazines! Lol. I will try to take some video.

Just got back from doing some testing on the SQL 12 DVC prototype. Keep in mind that I drive a GTO. I'm not sure if you are familiar with those cars or not, but let me explain something. Behind my rear seat is a solid wall of steel. The gas tank sits behind this wall of steel. The only way for sound to get in to my cabin is through two 7.5 inch holes where the stock 8 inch woofers used to be. Furthermore, I didn't build this box to be an all out ass kicking beast, it's made to be as flat and enjoyable as possible.

I did with ~ 500 watts:

At 25hz 132.1

At 27hz 133.5

At 33hz 135.2 and that was the peak

Not exactly "huge" numbers, but I only have a total of 47.1 square inches of area that actually let sound in to my cabin. In comparison, my sales guy has two SQL 12s in a civic two door that is doing 142.4 @ 52hz with a 300 watt amp driving both woofers. We could quite easily get high 140s out of his box.

Sorry if you guys were expecting insane numbers, would be happy to let someone with an actual trunk with fold down seats or a hatchback try it out with a termlab! Forgot my camera, had to meet a dealer this morning before we did this and was in a hurry. Got a print out, and if you need it, John has a picture on his iPhone.

Very interesting box design, little different port arrangement then most slot ported designs. :)

That box just can't breath in my trunk. I built a much smaller box and I am far more satisfied. If anyone has a hatchback or SUV and wants a box for a single 12, it can be yours.

How much and what would shipping be to zip 57201?

Thx!

i'd be willing to pop down there sometime to throw it in the focus if u have a term lab.

This does not include the woofer, but the box I would let go of for $80 just to get it out of my woodshop. I will ship it, but you'd have to pay for the shipping. It weighs about 90 pounds :)

I will have to wait, My yellow lab had a run in with the UPS truck this afternoon and is at the vet overnight and will need surgery on his eye. :(

Oh good god! That sounds terrible. Good luck to you and your dog!

Oh no, I hope the dog is ok.
