[QUOTE="szmidi, post: 7485423, member: 636599"] Hi all, I'm looking at rebuilding my sub box. My reasons behind this are to 1. hopefully cut some weight 2. cleaner look / moulded fit 3.make it more accessible (even removable) I have a 1991 Honda CRX. I've got 2 x Soundstream PCW-12 (single voice coils) being run by 2 x Sony XM1502 amps bridged, one amp per sub. I've also got a smaller amp for the front component speakers to squeeze in. The specs for the subs are in the attached picture. The dimensions I have to work with are about a 90cm width, 40cm depth. There is a sloped front to the boot portion so its about 50cm lenth on top and 70ish on the bottom. I'll start with a few basic questions and get more into it as it all comes together. Firstly, it recommends 2 sq ft for the one sub. Is two subs just a straight double (4 sq ft) or does it get smaller with each sub added?? How do I work out the space I need without just making two seperate 2 sq ft enclosures?? Next, to cut weight I would like to use fibreglass for the enclosure, just keeping MDF for the supporting pieces. Will this effect anything really? I've only ever worked with full MDF boxes but the weight is a bummer. I'm also using a program called WinISD to help with this. My subs are not in their database so I have to add them myself.
