    I have a dc level 4 12 currently in a 1.5 cubic ft box tuned to 33Hz. Ive been looking at some pics and decided to redo my box and have the ports outside. This box will be 2 cubic ft tuned to 35Hz with 2 4" ports that are 26" long.
    Heres some pics of old box

    Well im really low on money right now and i had this sub laying around in its box so i decided to redo it and see if it can be any louder. I gota have some kind of bass in my truck until i get some money. When i get my pell grant backfrom school at the end of august, im going to run 4 cerwin vega vmax 15s and 2 crossfire 1000ds in a wall.

    Yea it sux changing my mind alot. Ill get this box for the 12 done and prolly keep it for awhile until i can get enough money for the new system. The ED nine.1 will be powering the 12.

    I got it almost finished. All i have to do is sand the puddy of some of the holes. After i put it in the truck and i like it, im gona put some carpet on so all the screws will be hid. Tell me what you think/

    Yea im gona put another coat of paint on the ports. I was anxious to hear so i put a quick paint job so they wouldnt be white. Its tuned to 35 Hz. It pounds pretty hard and gets low. Im happy with the outcome and ill post a vid or 2 as soon as i can.
