NOT a small enclosure as recommended by the makers specs I am sure. You might as well put a tweeter in there cause that is about what its gonna sound like.

You are better off with going with a small enclosure and 2 8" subs if you want any kinda bass added to your sound. The way you are talking, you are just defeating the purpose.

Plain and simple.

well put... well put...

hell why waste your money..

Umm, lol?

box = enclosure

box != infinite baffle

With this defninition, reread what I posted?

Anyway, I finished the box and just need to mount it to the door. It's been raining the past few days and I do not have a garage so it'll be awhile before that happens.

The trunk side of the door has these ridges in the plastic, and i've tried to dremel them out, but is taking forever. So after the rain stops I'm just going to get the angle grinder and zip that crap off so I have an even mounting area. Then I was thinking of reinforcing the area around the sub with wood splints so the plastic does not bend as easy, and then covering it all up with carpet.

PS: The sub sounds just fine sitting behind the door just like JayAz has his, except mines temp. wedged in between the metal frame and the floor with a rolled up sweatshirt. Sounds even better than my brothers two 12” kickers. Probably because it's inside the cabin so you can hear it, and not just sectioned off in the trunk shaking the hell out of the car. Only have the gain and punch at half with lowpass at 75. It gives a deep rich bass sound with my pioneer HU at 10 volume, at 27 you can feel it vibrate.
