Ok so i think i got all the measurements figured out for 2 12" SDC2.5s, but i've never built a box or calculated one so I'd appreciate any suggestions, confirmations, criticism, pretty much any input :D

Thanks!

Ideally these are my outside measures:

depth bottom=24.75, depth top=20.25 width=30.5, height=15.5

Inside:

db=23.25, dt=19.5, w=29, h=14

I got 5.022cuft..........port measurements ( for the inside right?):

L=16, W=5.75, H=14 Area=80.352sq in. tuned to 40hz (i assume its 40hz from Audioq's website)

I used http://www.mobileinformationlabs.com/Ho ... m_1%20.htm to check myself...

I talked with DJ at Audioque....those numbers don't work.

the Width of the box (30.5") can't fit two 12"s and the port when you subtract the wood thickness......noob mistake :D

We got it pretty much all figured out though so if anyone needs help with Audioque subs, definitely talk to DJ. He's very very helpful :D

Audioque makes some really nice subs. I considering a pair of Audioque 10" HD3's so I can run in Street A.

Ive built a few boxes for their subs.

They are very nice looking with good specs. Price seems fair also.

Ya thats what made me give them a second look. The problem i have is that i really have no way to listen to ANY good subs, like incriminator, Fi, DD, AQ, JL cause Albuquerque has almost no pro audio shops. I found one, and i hoping to work there during the summer, but he's pretty JL-biased lol. Nothin wrong with that, we all have a bias for something!

But I've read in many places on many forums that these subs are pretty good! Thanks for the reassurance haha :D

I think you'll be happy with them.... Main thing is to get the box right, good subs in a bad box will sound like @ss... As they say "it's all in the install." :D
