I don't suppose you could shorten the overall height of the box from 14" to say 12" (basically a chop top) and fit two 10's? I know this will affect the volume per chamber, but my subs only need about .75ft^3 before displacement. My 10's need about 8" of mounting depth and the magnet diameter is 7.3" so I hope they would fit. Cutout diameter would be 9 1/4" and outer diameter of the sub is 10 5/8".

i would leave box as is take the extra space

spend $ 150 on a nice 12"

or $200 on 2 x 10"

just my hubble opinion

I appreciate the suggestion, this box choice is a matter of personal preference. I already have the two 10's sitting in my closet. I also already have a different 10 in a custom enclosure under the strut bar and I really don't like it. I like the idea of having an enclosure that takes up the space behind the strut bar. I'm also willing to pay extra for what I want. I also looked at the "S Type" box but I don't think that would work for me either as there is not enough mounting depth and the woofer looks too close to the strut bar. The 10's I have need at least 2.5" from from the end of the box to the nearest object due to the high excursion.

not a problem

if the box is about 2 ft gross as is
then if you reduce height about 2"
box will be roughly 1.5' gross
after sub displacement of 2 each 10"
you will wind up with about .5 or .6 per sub

and 1/2 cubic foot net per 10" is really on the tiny side , you might stuff box with poly fill and make up for the tiny size


what 10's are in your closet and how much net cubic space do they need sealed?

.6ft^3 per sub would be perfect. I have TC Sounds OEM 10's sitting in my closet. Right now I have a Zapco DC Reference 500.1 powering a single 10W6v2 in a custom ported enclosure and it's not loud enough for me. My mids and highs almost drown the sub. I was planning on changing the Zapco to a Sundown SAZ-1500D and putting to use those OEM 10's that I've had for months but never used. Also, it's personal preference again as to why I would like the box's height cut down because it just looks too high as is. This is basically like having a custom JL Stealthbox.

gotcha

If you look at the link for the OEM 10's, you can see that the magnet is huge on those things so I hope they'll fit.

i am familar with tc sounds

are concered with cut out
or mounting depth

MD is 8 5/8" on box

cut out not sure

i may go
9512g 12"
incriminator audio 12" death penalty
audioque aluminum coil hdc312 12"
2008 fi btl 12"

and i opposite of you want to add to height

i need 2 ft net minimum

Sounds like you're going strictly for SPL. Are you competing?

B5I8

iTrader: (1)

I'm just hoping with the reduced height, the outer part of the magnet is not going to hit the box.

After reading through the specs a little more, I don't think the magnet size is going to be an issue as the bottom depth of the box is 8.5" so it should clear no problem. I just hope he's willing to chop the top for me.

Now I just noticed the phone number at the top of the E-bay listing, maybe I should just call and ask.

I just got off the phone with them and it definitely sounds doable.

when Mike posts his tel # is in his Q & A 's

Since you're doing SPL, I'm guessing you're going ported. That's going to be a bit more challenging for two 12's.

I can just see your subs popping the hatch open or possibly busting the glass .

for some reason I'm not receiving any notifications for emails or thread posts..hmmm

Anyway, I measured the box today. As is the box has 1.995ft^3 of airspace.

I recalculated the airspace with double thick baffle (1.50" thick) and the airspace drops to 1.851ft^3.

350zspl....After the displacement of the sub we discussed (.18) your net airspace will be 1.671ft^3. I left a message on your recorder.....give me a shout when you get a chance. Thanks Mike

B5I8......Thanks for the call. I'll have an answer this weekend. What mounting depth are you needing? I forgot to ask.

Thanks Mike

I was reading the box specs and I saw the bottom mounting depth of the box was 8.5". If that's the most shallow part of the box, that's plenty of room for my subs as the mounting depth is a little less than 8". Would you be able to tell me the volume of airspace per chamber if we were to chop the top by 1.5" as well as 2"? I'm leaning more towards a 2" chop as I think there will still be enough airspace.

Thanks again Mike.
