box question about my Q

[jeffs42885 10+ year member]

i coulda prolly just posted this in the previous fi post

my cars in the shop getting a new water pump, and as of recently ive been considering getting a new vehicle, but for some reason i think that i want to keep my monte carlo SS and just get a new box for the sub and do a nice clean looking install in my trunk. For the box, there is an audioenhancers box that i can get for around 90.00, and it is approximatly 2.63 cubic feet after port displacement, and it is tuned to 34hz. How will my 12'' Q do in that box, with around 1200 watts. I know its hard to say what i could possibly hit. Like i said before, my goal is a 140-142 on the termlab, while still keeping great sound quality.

Also, what are the cons to buying this box..It's not just a regular old 10.00 ported box from ebay, they look like they are built VERY nicely..and since i lack carpentry skills, this is probably my best option

Again, the car is a 2000 monte carlo ss, seats fold down.

no way to tell around what it will hit. 1 12" in a trunk car 1200 watts and not doing any modding or knowing much you probably wont do over a 140

34 hz is a tiny bit high for the Q..

They recommend 28-32.

how bad would it be if i had it in the box tuned to 34hz?
