Im about to head to the ups store in a little bit and ill find out how much it will be.

Man its gonna be like $150 to send that thing. I would just get a sheet of mdf, some 1 1/2 wood screws, liquid nails, calk, and a friend to help and just build it. Its not hard, honest. And if you can carpet it, go for it. If not, get a can of cheap bed liner and roll it on.

Yeah i just don't have the time and since its winter it's tough cause i dont have a heated workspace. I may look into a shop doing it for me but for now i'll deal with what i got. If you have the dimensions and stuff that may help though.

Do you want deminsions for the box above or something like this:



^^That box isn't enough room for 2 ported, but it will be fine for 2 sealed and perfect for 1 ported. It would sound better ported aswell.

I just need something for two 12's, ported or sealed, whatever will get the most potential from the system.

98camaro28

Do you want more boom or punch? What type of music do you listen to? A sealed box will be more "punchy" and not get quite as low or loud as a properly tuned ported box. A ported box IF tuned LOW, will hit lower than a sealed and be louder. If you listen to stuf that is "boomy", like rap, go ported. And tell the shop to tune it to 33 hz.

Probably more 'boom' since i listen to that genre more often then rock or whatever.

Hey just PM me the dimensions so ill remember to look. I plan on going to a shop this week or next to have them build it. And do you have dimensions to fit so the hatch pieces can stay in?

98camaro28 what is your honest opinion on these boxes???

http://www.subthump.com/acamarowell.htm

I was thinking of doing 2 solo barics but I want them to be in a ported box...also still want to be able to carry my ttops...thoughts???

IMO, for "boomy" tune the port in the 35-40hz range.

I have never had one or looked at one personally, but they look to be excellent boxes. I spent a while on the phone with subthump a while back asking questions about build materials and whatnot, and they seem to be good quality enclosures. You MIGHT be able to get away with a ported box for 2 10's, but it will be pushing it, especially one with the t-top holder. My box in the picture posted above is just right for 1 12" solo ported, and that is without the holders. If you want the holders, just do 1 12" ported and you'll be good! Cheaper to just buy 1 sub, too!


I used to tune everything to 35. If you listen to rap, 40 is probably a little too high, especially for the people who listen to songs that are screwed and chopped. lol

He could easily port a single 12" subthump box with and external 4"dia. Aero-port about 13.5" long (34hz port tune).

98camaro28

Very possible indeed!

Is there enough room in the rear well to do two 12's ported? Or even using the space on the rear hump included in an enclosure

98camaro28

iTrader: (21)

Yes but you will need to build into a fender well and take out the factory t-top holders to maximize the space. I built a box doing the same thing and I was able to get well over 4 cu ft.

Have any dimensions? I've looked around and can't find any boxes already made ported for two 12's. I figure when i take the ttops off i can put them on the hatch hump or back seat. Or i could just get a sealed box but it won't hit as hard, correct?

Also, what would be an ideal wattage amp to power the two 12" Kicker CVR's? I have an 800w amp now, but i think thats underrated.

98camaro28

iTrader: (21)

I would get an amp rated at 1000w RMS.

And just build one as big as you can. You can't possibly build one too big for 2 ported back there. And yes, a ported box will hit 3X harder and, depending on the port, lower too.

i tried the port route and got pissed off lol, so just built a sealed box for 2 p3 12s n crunch 1000. loud nuff to make me tighten up my rearview every few weeks and skip my cd player (bless the ipod) this is my 5th fbody system and all have been sealed. if you have the room and build specs go ported. sounds bitchen when done right and if you have the amp to push it. i know a box on the back seats sucks. had a box back their with my old 4 12type r setup. it looks pretty crapy when you open the door
