What are the specs for the box? cuft per sub and port tuning?

Ask some of the upstate NY guys about Dave's work. I'd drive out about as far as Worcester to meet up or a little farther if you kick in for gas.

It's built for a pair of 15's now but I have a plywood piece that can screw on the top cut to fit a pair of 12's.

Do hit me up if you have any questions about the jeep though, I've done quite a bit of installing and experimenting on mine.

Oh wow yea thats waaaaaaay to big for my 2 12" sa-12's lol I only need 1.75cuft per sub so 3.5 total. I'm also looking for 34-36hz tuning.

I wouldn't tune below 38hz personally and I've tried quite a few box/sub/amp combinations in mine so far. Subs up port back works well as does subs to the back and port to the side or subs up and port to the side. Port up or forward *****, sub forward *****. Plan to keep some space in front of your port so that it functions properly.

I suspect the SA's would get loud in this box, but I suppose if you don't need to give up that much trunk space you don't need all that. I heard a couple 12" SA's in a similar jeep last year sounded very nice off about 1500W Dunno tuning but it was probably about 3.5 cube.

Yeah sundown recommends 30hz with 1.75cuft per sub for SQL. I think that is way too low so I was going to try to go around 35hz.

Let me know what you think if you try that. I thought 38 tuning was already sacrificing a bit of output in 55-65hz range for my liking.

Do you listen to mostly rap and hip hop?

Quite a bit of that, mostly older stuff, but plenty that's bass heavy. If you build a box use sono tube for port and temp it in with some silicone caulking. Tune low and cut the port down an inch at a time (easy with a utility knife) and keep tuning up and take some notes with a variety of music. Then you can do another permanent port at whatever length you like. IMHO best way to test multiple tunings to see what you like and what is the best match for those subs.

I was going to use slot ports but it looks like they would have to be very long for me to make it say 4" by 6" it would have to be 25" long for 35hz but if I just use a 4" round it only has to be 12.5" although I can't find 4" sono tube anywhere.

The amp came today I unboxed it they gave me 2 alan wrenches one fits the speaker / remote connectors the other I'm guessing is suppose to fit the power connectors but it's way too big I thought that was funny lol. Still the design looks really nice it came with 2 decals the remote bass and wire and the 2 alan wrenches. I'm amazed they got the 1200w rms amp to be smaller then I thought it would be it looks really nice.

ok well trying to find a place to go thru the firewall now, everyone says there's a place on the passenger side where there's rubber but there's not so I think I'm going to have to drill but idk if i can drill down far enough on the firewall for it to work.

EDIT: had to drill a big hole as high up as I could seems to have worked out I'm just scared of it cutting the wire I used some silicone hope that helped.
