will this work????

i have a 12" sub and my box can only be 13.5" MAYBE 14" high. can i still mount a 12" sub? here are the specs i got on RE.com:

33 wide

13.5 high

12 deep

2" port

9.5" port length

1.997 cu^ft before displacement

35.01 tuning

another question. if i brace each corner with 3/4" mdf, how much displacement would that be?

Yep, you'll be able to fit the 12" on there...and for the bracing just do the math on how much space it takes up, should be simple geometry

i failed math //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Well those look like EXTERNAL dimensions to build the box...so if you can go 13.5" maybe 14" high then that enclosure would work for you.

Well, take each pieces width (multiplied by) height (multiplied by) length and then divide by (12) three times and you'll have the cubic feet that piece takes up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

whatever the RE calculator uses, not sure if its external or internal

^it's external

ok thanks. should i do more than the two corners that arent apart of the port?

 

[Pioneer~Saturn 5,000+ posts]

up to you really...it'll add a bit of strength in the corners..

just not sure where or how much bracing i need. do i need it at all for a 12" with about 1100 watts?

1" dowell rods //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.... great for bracing and dont take up a lot of air space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You can always feel free to use bigger as well...

so if i had a brace that was 12x4x.75 the displacement would be .02?

^x2

Your math sir is correct.
