Will this do?

Last week I bought a Fully Loaded FI BL 12 from Mark over at CAF..

I then purchased box plans off dcarcustoms over at MobileAudioforums.. He has yet to even respond to my messages after I've sent the payment.. Hopefully he'll get back to me soon..

In the mean time I found these box plans on the forum.. Will this box work pretty well for the Fi? The sub will be powered by a ppi 1800.1 with execution audio 1/0.

I like to listen to a lot of rap and get low, but I do like rock also.. I figured 32 hz would be the right choice? This box is 2.5 @ 32hz

I have this same exact box sitting in my garage, used the same plans, it slammed HARD for my SoundQubed HDS312. Its an awesome box.

Reason I dont use it I have my new 5.2cu box I'm using.

Just throwing this out there, it is not hard to make these boxes, all you really need is a table saw, a pencil, and liquid nail, and heavy thread screws. Will save you money if you do it yourself, requires one sheet of MDF 3/4 which is $35 at lowes.

I built a box designed for my re xxx and at the time for finding the correct tuning it relied more heavily on the music for the driver. In the thread I put together my designs. Rechecked it in reverse order made things harder to find the real values. unfortunately for those of whom had replied for themselves were just wrong to start anyway.....Same box as mine minus the acrylics casing displacement and since the bl is less displacement than an Re xxx its evening out a bit. this is the end ecl. after all which has been recheck. The sound... [awesome] in case you were wondering. Here are two designs.some quick math

trying to get the tuning. My enclosure ended up coming at 2.36cf @ 41hz.; or with plexi sidewall and cutid and without sub displacement in box. this particular box was 2.6@39hz.xxx eatsup the space. if i remember I had corrected the port length. 31.75in to 32.75.

Dont run this risk of mechanical failure at higher tuning anyway..

Do what Fi recommends
