FI Q in a bigger box????

[jeeper2269 10+ year member]

We are getting a new Lexus IS and I have an FI Q 12" in a custom made small sealed enclosure. I think this sub could do a bit better, given a larger enclosure. What do you guys think? Now that I have the trunk room.

What's the current box size?

15"x12"x27.5"

15"x12"x27.5"

You want to keep it in a sealed, but bigger or go ported?

I would be fine going bigger. Not huge, but as close to the best size/option to let the Q perform best. It's going from a double cab tundra into a trunk of a Lexus IS 350 2015

Go ported....

Is it the High QTS option?

if so, a larger sealed box could benefit you

Almost always a bigger box will sound better.

I don't know the exact specs on the Q. I got it in 07' I think. It doesn't have any extras. I am going to try and find a sub box builder to make one according to manufacture specs again, larger and ported. Will have the car tomorrow, so I will have a better idea of the room I have in the trunk. Wish I could remember who built the sealed box I have. I think he was on the east coast.

Cherryman customs. Only took 5 days from start to arriving at my door. Here's the design I had done on my box...

His work is awesome and extremely fast. Affordable too seeing all the time he spends making everything spot on. Highly recommended to anyone who's truly proud to show there systems. Tell him spl4200 he will take good care of you.

15"x12"x27.5"

The specs I posted are wrong. The correct dimensions are

15"x12"x21"

These measurements are from the outside of the box.

My math shows the box is 2.187 cubic feet external.
