Posted May 18, 200718 yr Hello all, I am building a budget spl system an need help with the enclosuer.I have one Sundown audio saz-1500d an two audiobahn aw1206t 12" subwoofers. The enclosure has to be under 7 cu ft outside. My car is a acura cl 1997 I have two Orbital 950ca batteries ,1/0 wire a fusion preamp with 8 vols outs. I know the flame q is not the best sub for spl but I can get them for $130.00 per set.
May 18, 200718 yr Author 130 a set is overpriced, buy some Maws insteadM5, I have the autobahns now so I will use them , can you help me with some numbers on the box. Thanks.
May 18, 200718 yr I helped a friend in HS with an Audiobahn AWT12X, followed the recommended plans and it worked good enough as a starting point. If you're halfway serious about competing you'll likely go through those subs anyway

If you're halfway serious about competing you'll likely go through those subs anyway Hi Jim, Yes I am very serious about comperting I used up my budget on the amp, wire, batteries. Jim, did you use the 3.5 cu ft box that autobahn recommends for spl ?
May 19, 200718 yr I thought my spl system was on a budget with 2 grand... Woofers- 350 (tc sounds oem's)Kinetik hc2000 200 of ebayWiring ~150Sound Deadening ~200Dominick Irragi Alt 400mdf, fiberglass, wood glue etc... 300Time in front of a meter so far- 40oh and I got side-tracked and ended up with a set of morel pulse components and hertz tweets on the way there.And that isn't including the amps i have/ getting.*** note that the amps prices are not calculated in the 2 grand budget, and that originally I was going to have 2 10" bl's or audioque hd3's.

May 24, 200718 yr Id start with a sealed box with approx 1.5cuft per sub. See if that's loud enough for you. I had a couple aw12's a few years ago that got real loud sealed, but sounded like azz.After that I'd look at putting them in a slot port box with 4-5 cubes net tuned to 35hz. If they get loud and sound bad, tune deeper...if they don't get loud, tune higher.
