dude go with the spl enclosure they give your for the alum 12. forget what people tell you the alum is a good sub in the right enclosure. i think it was somthing around 3 cu ft. You have to go porteed with alums. it get d@mn LOUD. If you do it right you can hit 143-44 with one alum

remember no Sealed, GO ported. tell me the diamiters of the trunck spac and i will try to give you the dimesions

Ported isnt all that hard to build.. The hard part is working out the box size and the port diameter and length.. If someone has a program that is willing to help you out there the hard part would be over.

i dont understand how the inside of a ported box works n looks like

The only physical difference is the port.. Other than that it is just like a sealed box.

Ususally ported boxs are bigger.
