Going to install a dual setup in my car during the winter months. The box has 1.17 cu ft. air space. and 8.5" depth. I can have a port put in if you guys think it would make a difference. Wanting to make sure everything is good before I start ordering stuff.Thanks

Need way more info man. Subs? Amps? Car? Goals? Just to name a few things.

Here are the recommended enclosure specs for 12" Sundown Audio drivers - 1.5 - 2.0 cubes ported / 1.0 to 1.25 sealed

Sub: SA-12

Amp:Still deciding

Car: 2002 Camaro SS

Goals: SPL

What are the maximum dimensions that you are willing to give up?

The box has to be made to fit in the cubby hole in the rear. Here's the approx. box specs

Width 37-1/4 Length 13-3/4 Depth 9-1/2"

Should be just enough volume for a nice, custom ported enclosure.

If your going for SPL what kind of numbers are you trying to achieve?

Yeah,I'm looking for Loud.No particular number in mind.I used to have a single ten inch in a stealth enclosure and it was pretty loud due to the way the hatch would make it sound louder. There's always some guys/gals that I run into at work that have systems they think is loud,there system is,but not that loud.Figure I would try to do something in my off time to show them what loud really is.I've wanted to try the SA-12,so I figure why not now.

Ok so you're looking for a loud daily setup.

A single 12" SA-12 would be great. I would recommend porting it though.

Fo' sho .... port that beech!!!

Ok,looks like a single SA-12 ported to say around 30HZ?

2cuft after all displacement tuned to 35Hz should be very nice in your application.

Ok. I'll let my box builder know to give me 2cuft and tune it to 35HZ. Thanks for the help guys.

Your dimensions are right at 2 cubes without displacements.

Subtract 0.14ft^3 for the sub and if want to save space use 1 4" Precision "Aero" Port with a length of 13.875" should get you right at 1.78ft^3 tuned to 35HZ.

Port displacement is going to kill you unless you can go external.
