FI Q12 in the Z...
just finished my install...wanted to share a quick pic of the finished product...
needed 34" total of 3" port to be tuned @32Hz
The sound quality is amazing compared to my last memphis setup...I'd definitely recommend any FI line

everything looks great
i would have put the driver more toward passenger side and ports together on drivers side
i use a ported enclosure as well with 1 each 15" and 2 each 4" PSP ports with a 90 degree elbow and mine is 35 hertz and it is tough getting them in
good job

Next were the ports which I ordered from partsexpress.com...the total was kinda pricy but they look great.
Then came the fun part...making the 'beauty board' which follows the contours of the trunk and the only thing i actually carpet. I just used 1/8" particle board and spent about 5 hours on getting the curves right. Was well worth it though
From the back...
I thought keeping this lip would be nice so I could still put my things back here without having to worry about them rolling around onto the sub/ports
WalMart JUST so happened to have matching carpet for me! haha
i ALMOST left it inverted, but then decided against it...
And here are the original dimensions...2.25 cubic feet before sub/port displacement

Oh, I love the box. Thank you for the dimensions also. I'm going to rip my current enclosure out and build this one. When you get a chance, could you post the part #'s for the port tubes needed, and length also? I'm assuming you needed "elbows" also?
One question though. How did you get the factor floor mat to tuck into the enclosure so clean?

And the ports and the sub are drilled into the top board also (as shown in pictures)
The beauty board is only 1/8" thick so that lip you see is mostly from the box...If i would have built the box flush, I wouldnt have had enough clearance for the sub to sit inside
