After much toil and measurements (including plotting everything in winisd pro) i have decided on a box design for my Orion Hcca 12.2 with a new black coil. Can anyone critique this design/ give me any last pointers? Any pointers will be appreciated!

I just recently bought a Hcca 12.2 and am trying to build a box for it and have a few questions. 1: 1 inch mdf was reccomended for this woofer but i couldnt find it at common retailers. Will 3/4 be ok for sides and a 1.5 inch baffle? 2: Orion reccomends a square port. Is there any benefit to...

So this is what it really is?? http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/1SVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg

I have a fully loaded dual kicker comps 12s 2 ohms Kicker DCompS12 Dual 12" SingleVoiceCoil 2Ohm Subwoofers with Enclosure 40DCWS122 - Best Buy is this how I would wire it http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2SVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg since I have to...

haha I know what your sayen man. Well thanks for all the advice!!

haha very true but still deciding if I want to foot that extra 100 bucks

Well my depth is a bit off after remeasuring and I only have about 15 inches which means I guess im going to have to get a 12 instead

Thx

Sorry if I am being stupid or something but this is my first box! So ur saying I cant change the port area? and 3.5 cubes isn't the lowest recommended box volume, 3 cubes is

Thanks! you think 16 inch depth will be enough to bolt the 15" sub onto the box??

I am?? I am making a 3.5 cubic foot box but changing the port size a bit. All of their tunings are tuned to 40 hz they are just giving you an easy measurement. I was told that 40 hz woulnt sound good at all when playing rap and metal

I am pretty new to the whole box designing but im going to give it a shot. My max trunk space in my hatchback ford freestyle is H:20-24 W:40 D:16 Soundqubed recommends a 40 hz tuning, but what iv heard I want a lower tuning, maybe 32 to 35 ( I listen to rap and metal) This is what I have...

Ok.. I will look for a tutorial on how to set it with a dmm. So I shold run it at 2 ohms with 1000w or 4 ohms at 500w?

Well if I set it to 4 ohms I wont get more power than needed and it will be safer for my sub, right? My sub is 600w RMS so 500 would be fine?

Thanks allot man.. Is this good quality? I am really a noob when it comes to amps but this one looks pretty good! Also do you know of a site where I could get the amp with the bass knob? Or know of a place where I can get the knob for cheap? Thanks again for all your help!
