About a month or so ago I had a 12 inch sub and a 10 inch sub chilling on my back seat taking up space and the 10 inch just stopped pumping so now im starting in on building a pretty much full sub woofer build (building a forward firing sub box from scratch, running larger gauged wire to amp, two new twelve inch subs, sub covers, custom lighting on box) this will be the first sub box im ever making myself, and the reason im choosing on building one myself is for three main reasons
1) I want a forward firing sub box and cant really find them anywhere
2) I needed a project for woods class so I decided on making a new box
3) I try to build any part I can for my truck so I can take more pride in it, "Built not Bought" is kinda its theme.
there are a couple things I would like to get to know a little better and some opinions.
1) Has anyone here made a forward firing box for 2 12's and have dimensions I could rob?
2) What would the best way of going about knowing im building the box right?
3) How would i go about getting the right air space in the box? (1.25ft^3 recommended, could I go more or less to get a deeper hit?)
4) Any little tips to help in building the box to make it easier for me?
5) What kind of sub grill/cover should I get? / is there a possible way to build my own? (i dont want a waffle or mesh one)
6) Ever hear of a sub spacer? would it be possible to cut a little groove into it to lay some LED's for lights?
Extra Info:
I have 2 new Hifonics HFX12D4 that are planned to go in the box (400RMS 800peak)
I will be using a Pyramid Arctic Series pb717x 1000 watt 2 Channel amp
planning on a 4 gauge power and ground wire
im trying to keep this on a really tight budget because Im only in High School and funds are very limited.
When I start building the box I plan on making a thread for it, and any help now would be greatly appreciated so I run into as few bumps along the way as possible. Thanks for helping out.
