One of my patrons over on Patreon wanted some help with a box design.
He is trying to fit a 12" subwoofer in the middle of the floorboard of
his crew cab pickup truck. For the driver we are using Dayton Audio Reference High Output 12" subwoofer.
The enclosure is 2.5 cubic feet and tuned to 32 HZ. For the port we
went with a 2" by 19.5" slot port that is 36 1/4" long. The f3 is 28

Frequency Response Ported (Green) vs Sealed (Blue)
Cone Excursion Ported (Green) vs Sealed (Blue)

For those that want a no-compromises enclosure you need a dose of reality, or you need to find somebody else to design your enclosure. Complete plans with di

All builds are budget builds, budgets are just different. Here are four budgets and some gear that will get you the bass you crave. Make sure you check out the end of the article for a few caveats*. $300 Amazon Build For this build we are going with a single 12" instead of an 8" or 10". Cone area is king. Enclosure: SKAR Audio SK1X12V $94 Sub: SKAR Audio SDR-12 D2 $90 Amp: LEGIS Audio 500.1 D $66 Wire: Recoil OFC 8 Gauge Kit $50 LEGIS Audio 500.1 D That puts us right at $300 before taxes, most of it is on amazon, so shipping is free for prime members. I have personally reviewed the SKAR box and the LEGIS amp. If you go this route pay close attention to the subwoofer and the amp. Make sure you get the dual 2 ohm sub.
