Ok let me start by saying this. Every thing ive learned about car audio had pretty much been from this site. And i try not to be one of these retards that post 45 post asking the same questions that have already been answered a thousand times as you can tell my post count is like 12. I had a CVX 12 D4 that was in a "professionally built" box that ended up being less than 1 cube ported to 55 hz, it was on a KX 400.1 in 2 ohm, i got it for free but it was damaged anyway. Thats where I started from. Before I knew anything about the enclosure I decided i wanted to replace the damaged sub. So i searched for weeks then posted up on here and ended up ordering a RE SX 12, D2 and a second KX 400.1 to strap with mine. Then i find out that my enclosure is firewood after i had already ordered the 12 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif. So this is what i built. Keep in mind when looking at these pictures that I have NEVER built and enclosure before and I am not very good at woodworking in general (i cant cut a straight line for my life).
I did the box draw up on RE's enclosure calculator, i know there is some argument to its accuracy but i figured its a RE sub thier enclosure calculator is good enough. Besides my tune being a little off isnt a huge worry to me, it still works. This is the first finished product minus the top.
I didnt like how thin the edges at the top and bottom of the speaker hole were and then i read the thread on here about someones baffle breaking into pieces and going through their cone so i ripped it back apart and did some modification. This was my next finished product minus the top.
I feel a lot better with the 1 1/2 baffle on it, the corner braces were kind of "just because" i don't even really know their intended purpose all i know is they take up more of my internal volume and mess up my tuning frequency even worse. So with out the double baffle and the corner braces the box was supposed to be 2.0 tuned to 32hz. Final numbers on it are a mystery.
Heres the sub pics. This is the damaged CVX with my fresh out the box RE SX
