My Mach 5 Audio dual IXL 12 build

[Puggsley456 10+ year member]

I have had a pair of IXL 12's sitting around since last summer. With the DBDrag coming up in a couple weeks I felt it was time to get my arse in gear.

Heres the Basic design with the exception that I decided not to do a driver flush mount and therefore increased the width of the top port piece from 4.5" to 5.

This box is 3.2cubes net. We did an impedance sweep and its exact tuning is 33hz.

Two weeks ago I got my pieces cut and asembeled. Sorry I fogot to take pictures of the bare box. Nothing special though.

But Heres the finished box......I previously had an eD 15 in a 2.5 cubes @ 27 hz box in my car and it did a 140.6db on 1200rms.

After only a few hours play I can say for certain that these are louder on only 800-900rms. And they sound better too.

Box seems a lil small for 2 12"s, looks good though I like the two tone.

Just a guess but it looks like painted 3" PVC.

So far it appears that is not the case.

I used white 3" PVC with a 90* elbow. I painted it black to match.

Yes it was just spray on. I used half a can on the one piece.
