Eclipse enclosure for sundown 12

[CaptainMaximus 10+ year member]

So at the beginning of this year, I decided to hang up the car audio competition stuff(right after hitting a 149.6). But now I find myself wanting to start again cause I just can't hang it up!! I'm 20 now, in college with a beautiful soon to be fiancé (ssshhh), and am graduating in spring with a bachelors degree, so I figured I would have fun now while I still can. What I would like from the fellow audiophiles on this site is some suggestions. The sub is a Sundown SA12d4, and its going in a 01 MIT Eclipse (Hatchback). Big 3, deadener, and extra batteries are already in there. So now I'd like to design a sub box that will hit very low, as I like my tuning very low. Shoot me some ideas please... Thanks in advance.

PS*** I also have an extra sundown idk what I'm doing with... Hit me with some ideas,offers,or whatever.

Anybody?

2 cubes with 6" aero port tuned low? 30-32hz sub back port to side that's probably what I would do in that kind of car

Is that enough space to really shake things up?

In a small cabin like yours I would think it would do pretty well. Its not going to hit a 149 tuned that low maybe more like 143-144db but its hard to tell. What amp are you planning on running?

 

[av83 10+ year member]

what amp?

 

[CaptainMaximus 10+ year member]

I'm looking carefully now for an amp. Something decently cheap. I'm thinking a MemphisMC1500.1 or a soundstream rubicon 2500.1 (both I can find decently cheap. Well what I'm aiming for is a high number. Free to give some opinions on amps

I would probably look at a SQ Q1-750 they go for a lil over $200

How does that 29hz sound? With it opened up in mine it could be different

IMO its a little too low for a 12" SA. I'm switching the box out for one tuned to 31hz with 16 sq inches of port per cube. But I would say anywhere from 30-35hz is considered a safe zone for this woofer
