Alright, I feel like a moron asking this but hey... With a sealed box, my sub woofer isn't sealed INSIDE the box is it? Is this a sealed box that this dude is making?

That is sealed. Sealed means there are no ports in it.

That's not including sub displacement.

I believe the RE 12's only displace .09 cubic feet. And yes, make sure when calculating box size, that you use internal dims. I would make the box as close to 3 cu.ft. as you can, just make sure it fits in your car. Use the box calculator on http://www.bcae1.com, number 110. Chose internal dims and figure out how big of a box you will need.

Hope this helps...


EDIT: Used the calc on bcae1 and 28x16x16 gives you 3.224 cu.ft. Subtract the sub displacement and you have 3.044 cu.ft.

Ok, I got it figured out, I'm gonna go 15x15x15 External which is 13.5x13.5x13.5 Internal. This gives me 1.424 - .09 = 1.334 Sq. Ft. I'm gonna go with one box per sub since my trunk is so tiny, I wanna be able to have them kinda off to the sides so I can still access my spare tire just in case. Thats about the max room I can give 15x15x15.
