I'm shooting myself in the foot. A few years ago a forum member designed a box for me. He's a good dude for designing it and I'm a shit head for not making it. With that, don't help me because I don't deserve it. Little back story: Currently using some premade box with 3/8 particle board I...

I'm not seeing the new designs if they were posted. I know designing boxes requires time to tune correctly so I'm going to condense everything down to this post for you to make it as easy as possible!  At some point, we need a clear way to compensate you for your time and troubles. $200+ seems...

hard top. I've been thinking about the box. I'd like there to be some symmetry to it if possible. Two ports would be ideal.

would have it been funnier if I said 5-10db?     :)     lol

Yes. Rockville DB16 2000w RMS (I was mistaken, not 4000w RMS). I'm sure one isn't going to be enough for these subs so I'll order a second one. Two 15's with 4000w rms total in a top firing box with ports please. Direct from the website: RMS Power 1200 watt Subwoofer...

I just completed a low budget build for my friend. I'm sure its a little better then that pre-made kit that you linked but who knows without a back to back comparison. Parts list: Rockville DB14 1000w RMS - $120 12" Cerwin Vega V122D Subwoofer - $100 Ported box - $50 Boss Audio wiring...

Sorry shredder, work picked up so I've had no time for this project. Well some things changed over the last month so this isn't going to work anymore. Here's what happened if you're interested. Last week I gave my friend my Rockville DB14 1000w RMS amp, a set of Pyle PLB8 8" subwoofers, sealed...

That's great but there is no supporting evidence that the DB series of Rockville amps are prone to burn. This site seems to hate anything that affordable which is understandable.  No one wants to recommend something that, perhaps, may have a risk. I understand the risks, so don't worry about...

Cheap is good in this case cause the vehicle lacks security.  There are no doors, no locks, nothing to stop a thief from jacking the equipment. Perhaps I've provided to much information.  I'm looking for a box design to meet three 12's in a maximum space of 42" Length x 36" width x 18" height...

Total overall length in the rear is 42"  x 36" width x 18" height. My thoughts were to leave enough length for a battery box to the front. If the extra space is needed for the box, the batteries will go else where The amp is rated @ 4000wrms @ 2ohm but I assume a <20% loss netting me closer...

Yes. 3-4" inches rearward to the gate with 12" available front. Spitballing could be the word; I'd prefer flexibility. Original goal stands but I have limited experience here. I could throw something together solo but I'd prefer to maximize the available space. I have plenty of money so I could...

Cold Air intakes have been well proven to do nearly nothing. Claims that they increase HP, MPG, reduce wear, and lower engine temps, are all false. The only thing they do is make a nice "whoosh" noise when getting on it. You can find YouTube videos where they do back to back dyno runs. If you...

Top firing with 1 or more ports facing the front or rear of the vehicle. I just want the most subwoofer I can get in a enclosure of that size. I'd prefer 3 12's but if that doesn't work. I could do two 15's or one 18.

So no chance of having a top firing sub with the amount of space I have? Lets for a second say I'm dead set on having a top firing enclosure. What Equipment would be recommended to accomplish that? Would a single 15' or single 18' be better?  I don't have a budget. I can spend as much or as...

That looks simple enough. Yes the whole setup is low buck mainstream garbage. The next build will be with quality equipment. I want to get my feet wet with this build as I get more comfortable with car audio. Sure I could buy a high quality Cerwin Vega - Stroker Pro with a Crescendo amp but I'm...
