I baught 2 of the new shallow mount 12's from pioneer and i'll be making my own box for it, they say for volume they need .6-1 cubic foot of air space a piece and i designed my box and got the volume with 5/8 MDF and got like 1.5 cubic feet which is .75 a piece, should i split the box in half so it would act like 2 separate boxes or do i just leave it open all the way through?
Yes split the box....especially if you stay with the 5/8 mdf....try to get hdf if you can get it....basically the stiffer you make the box...the better the bass will perform.
So if you don't want to split them (running mono) then use the 3/4....heck they even make 1 inch....
Now If you don't mind some questions...
how deep are the shallow mount 12's?...
do those volumes include the speaker too?...
are you building the box for behind the seat of a reg cab?
and how much did you pay (if you don't mind that is)?
And finally what are you driving them with?
I am running one ten totally behind half the seat in my reg cab 97 and would love to find a way to run two 12s behind the seat...
Bass is very addictive.... :crazy:
