Thread: Vented Box for two 12's

Whats the biggest box that you can fit in a 97-03 for two 12's vented? How should they fire/vent for the loudest SPL? I want to shake storefront windows, set off alarms, turn my rear view sidways,shake my visors, flex the W shield/dash, distort my sides to the point that they're usless, be herd from 2 blocks...... Running SWR-1243D's on an MBQ 1500 @ 1ohm...... What do you guys suggest? Should I be careful with volume/freq? They're rated 600 but I've heard religiously they handle 700-1000 daily. I'm currently using a POS pre fab and they're begging for a bigger box or lower freq? Not sure which though..... I mostly listen to Tech, KMK, T pain, Gucci for serious flex to give an idea...... I'd appreciate any help.......Thanks..... Btw sorry for the run on paragraph, my HD crashed and I'm using my PS3 as my browser, line break (shift) dont work...

Even that won't do it. You'll need 4 of em, MAYBE then you can rattle the windows on some buildings, OR a couple 15s.

Also you need to keep in mind ratings for your subs. Look up what Alpine recommends giving them for size, factor in port size and box thickness, etc etc. You should be able to give them plenty of space with plenty of room. You should also be able to build it outside the trunk and then drop it in. But if you go too big for your subs you could ruin them, so as I said, go by what your manufacturer recommends.

biggest realistic box would be 5 cubes

for what your doing see my build tread: http://www.grandprixforums.net/quiet-1-a-54698.html

personally i would get your electrical in order 1st. HO alt 2 runs of 0/1 pos and neg
then i would start looking at a more powerfull amp due to rise you won't get the right power
as far as box goes tune in the mid to low 30s (works good for me) if your going to do more than the rms make the box slightly smaller for better sub control
