space saver compact subwoofer using 12inch Audiobank Sub

[dannyjmf]

hi members

A question here ... i would like to build a space saver subwoofer enclosure sealed box with acceptable good sound. The subwoofer itself has a height of 6inchs ... i am targeting a depth of 7 to no more than 7.5inch of depth. The subwoofer is originally bought with a ported box of about 20L. Now switching the box since using a different car now my last car was totalled in an accident last month 🙁 ... now rebuilding the sound system taking into consideration with trunk space constrain with smaller car ... (can see the dented dust cap too 😀)

So will a conventional sub will work in a small sealed space saver sub enclosure? or shall i get a sub driver designed for space saver enclosure? Many thx ...

Give us a link to the T/S parameters please.

A 12 inch driver in a 20L ported box? Something doesn't sound right here....

The t/s parameters of the driver are needed in order to come up with a good box size for it. However, if this driver was designed for car audio duty, a 28L (net) sealed box is typically what's recommended for 12" car audio drivers.

Note: the subwoofer could be damaged too. I lost two 12" drivers when my mechanic wrote off my last car during a test drive - the coils were damaged when he ran it into a tree. Check it out first before going to the trouble of building a box for it.

The box I bought comes with the subwoofer ready made

Aha ... Thanks for informing me ... the subwoofer (located at the trunk however my storage box banged into the dust cap causing a dent on it) survived the accident crash but not the car ... the car suffered from a severe front end damage (misaligned chassis - written off) since i rear ended a fully stand stop car 😡😡😡... the idiot was attempting to make an illegal u-turn at a double line and no signal lights were put on 😡😡😡😡... see the damage below - btw i am thankful to survive a 100kmh crash ... now in the process of rebuilding the audio system for my current car ... items managed to salvage were the rear deck speakers ... head unit and amplifiers ... racing gauges ... and this subwoofer
