Proper box for hds212 d4

[smtroupe 10+ year member]

I have used the chat on their site, they suggest 1.75-2.5 cubed space per sub @35hz. I have tried to make sub boxes before everything is great till the circle.. My trunk has space for up to 38in wide x 18.5 H x 24 in D. I found this box 12" inch Dual Subwoofer Sub Box Enclosure Vented Obcon USA Made | eBay and it is pretty close to specs with 1"mdf. Is that a viable route? thanks in advance

have a shop make the cut for you or something. you'd want at least 2 cubic feet per sub and a wide enough port. The option you chose is just a cheap fix will work but my past experiences with obcon boxes, they get destroyed pretty fast by strong subs.

did you get my message about the subs being 39f(s)? Is that ok. and i will search for plans on here then and see what i come up with.

I been looking through the plans on here and none fit the criteria of my trunk. That is my main problem. All of the 2^3 boxes are too wide. Also i'm assuming each sub should be enclosed separately and not share space. http://i.imgur.com/3tiZluM.png this is the only one i found and they share space and i would really have to cram it in my trunk width wise.

If amp is one channel sharing space is the way to go.

ya i would only run a mono channel

you wouldn't have plans for a box that would fit the demisions of my trunk do you?

box plans - Imgur these are the plans i have found on this site will they work? I'm looking at the 39x17x16.25 box

If that's the size for the space you got it'll work.you also have to make sure the subs you will be running will sound good in that enclosure.that is something I know nothing about but I'm sure someone on this site can fill you in.if you are going to build your own box it might be worth it to have someone design it for you.

That is what i'm trying to do... i'm going to be pretty upset if i build this box and it sounds like junk. I might as well but a premade.

I would think it would still sound better than any prefab even if its not 100% accurate.I can build em but not too sure about tuning so I'm just going to get someone to design it and tune it for the subs i plan on using first because I just want to build one time and be done.
