I just got the pioneer TS-SW1201S4 sub and I've got some questions about the box. The box has a suggested design on it and says the enclosure is .65cubic feet, kinda middle of the suggested range. Does this sound like a good size? Also are screws really needed or are nails and glue fine? The picture on the box has the sub offset to one side of the enclosure and about 10" left on the long side. If the box is 3/4 mdf should I need any braces, doesn't show them on the picture at all? Lastly it's going in a reg cab truck. Does it really matter if the box is in the center or behind one seat or the other? I kinda want to offset it so that I can still put stuff back there. Thanks.
I always recommend glues and screws. Make the box solid. I have worked with these subs and they do sound great. I've been using a 0.9 to 1.0 cu ft box and using Pioneers port size and length recommendations. The sound is awesome.
Thanks. I think for now I will build a sealed one to the specs on the instructions as it will be my first box. I can always change it later if I need.
