Bronze Member Username: Wj94Post Number: 39 Registered: Feb-04 | i just bought a single 12" RE SE sub and i went to measure my trunk today (2000 mustang) and it's bout 32" wide, 24" deep, but the height is around 15" at the front of the trunk and slopes down to 11" at the back of the trunk. i wanted to have a box made that was 2 cu. ft. ported (14" high, 20" wide, 18" deep). i don't see how it could possibly fit and it's really bugging me at the moment. do you think i might be better off asking david (from RE) to build me a 10" SE sub with the RE X-X-X voice coils instead so that i have roughly the same power (possibly more) and build a smaller ported box for that? let me know what you think, thanks. |

Bronze Member Username: Wj94Post Number: 40 Registered: Feb-04 | someone suggested that i have him build a ported box with the sub facing upwards. do you think this would be a good idea? would this lose any SQ as opposed to having the sub at 90 degrees or at an angle? |
