[QUOTE="944g37, post: 5630833, member: 604313"] Ok let me start by saying this. Every thing ive learned about car audio had pretty much been from this site. And i try not to be one of these retards that post 45 post asking the same questions that have already been answered a thousand times as you can tell my post count is like 12. I had a CVX 12 D4 that was in a "professionally built" box that ended up being less than 1 cube ported to 55 hz, it was on a KX 400.1 in 2 ohm, i got it for free but it was damaged anyway. Thats where I started from. Before I knew anything about the enclosure I decided i wanted to replace the damaged sub. So i searched for weeks then posted up on here and ended up ordering a RE SX 12, D2 and a second KX 400.1 to strap with mine.

So this is what i built. Keep in mind when looking at these pictures that I have NEVER built and enclosure before and I am not very good at woodworking in general (i cant cut a straight line for my life). I did the box draw up on RE's enclosure calculator, i know there is some argument to its accuracy but i figured its a RE sub thier enclosure calculator is good enough. Besides my tune being a little off isnt a huge worry to me, it still works. This is the first finished product minus the top.
