[kyleorsini 10+ year member]

Can anyone do up a box design for a 12"ixl driver? Width needs to be 30" and 14" height. Slot port with a couple corner braces. If somone can do one up that would be great.

Hmm, I'd build one, you sure you can't find someone locally to do it though? Shipping to canada is going to be rather costly...

You forgot depth.

You forgot depth.

I'm guessing he is restricted to those dimensions as far as width and height. I would assume depth can be manipulated to achieve needed volume.

And sorry kyle, sometimes I phail and reading. I read "box" and then read "winnipeg" and just thought, "****, that's gonna be hella expensive to ship."

Depth shouldn't be an issue with having the box 30" wide and only having a single 12

You still need a maximum, just in case.

Check the sticky on top marked Box Plans.

Find one that's like 2 to 2.5cu and maybe 35 to 38hz.

They're free, can't go wrong

Is 15-16" what you'd like to make it, or actual max from back seat to the back wall of the trunk. Because you need to have a minimum space between the port and a solid wall which is equal to the width of the port itself. So for example, if 16" is the max you can use, and the port is 3" wide, the box itself can only be 13" deep for port loading purposes.

no the number is a random number i just said, the depth doesnt matter at all, and

all the boxes ive made have been aroun 15" deep. right now with my box in my trunk at 14 or 15" depth (cant remember) i have about maybe 15" inches to the opening of the trunk. amp will also be mounted on back of the box

Alright, here's the design with all dimensions and whatnot.

With sub installed, it'll come out to 1.8 cubes at 33Hz just as recommended by Mach 5.

30" wide

14" tall

14" deep

The bottom and top are both 30" by 14"

All the other dimensions for length of the walls are shown in the first pic and they are all 12 1/2" tall.

Good luck with the build and please post pics and/or vids when it's done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
