| since i suck at building boxes,lol and have no saws. this is what was recommended for a box for my brutus 12's. 3ft by 2 ft by 14.5 tall its 5.8cf total
The box should be 14.5" tall x 36" wide x 24" deep. The port should be 13" tall x 4.5" wide x 19.3" long
Please use 3/4" MDF for construction of the port and enclosure.
This enclosure is tuned to 38Hz with a 3dB down point of 32Hz.
the port goes between the subs on the 14.5" face. anyone want to make some extra cash and help me with this? some tweaking on the dim may have to be changed around due to space in the back of my frontier | |

What model number are they? And you want SPL or daily?? Or a little of both? And how much power on them and what vehicle they going in? | |

most systems you hear that seem loud dont meter loud and are really only closer to 130-135" Then if that is the case I would tune them closer to 45 hz for SPL, and your 38 hz, that will get you somewhere in between, your call. The higher you tune it the crappier it will sound with rock and rap. | |

| what do you all think? my box is tuned to 35 hz now. will going to 38 make a big difference? also i'll probably get you to help with this since you are alot closer^. send me your phone number and then let me know what i need to get. i know you can't get to it for a couple of weeks. that is fine. | |

| Here is a comparison in free air between my box and mike's, now these are two completely different setups but just to give you an idea of how square subs behave for SPL. Both boxes are tuned to the vehicles peak. | |
