Custom 12” enclosure for 07-15 Tahoe Yukon Escalade

[Ponchonutty]

as title states. This fits between center captains chairs. Sold vehicles and they didn’t want this. $175 plus shipping. Fosgate P3 sub not included. THIS ROCKED THE CRAP OUT OF MY RIDE!! People had no idea where the enclosure was and thought I had multiple subs installed. Fits pretty tight and could use to be trimmed down about 1/2 because it does wedge under the armrests causing a little note effort to put down seats. Didn’t bother me enough to do anything about it though.

I really like this and have plans drawn up of a very similar one for a 10" TypeR. Ported or sealed? You know the volume and port dimensions if ported?

I prefer sealed enclosures when running higher quality subs with high power capabilities. Not sure what’s needed for a TypeR sorry.

I have the specs for my sub, which is how I drew up the design that I did. I was asking for the details of your enclosure in case I decided to be lazy and buy yours instead of building my own. I could easily add an extra layer to the baffle with a cutout for a 10".

I agree with using a high quality driver in a sealed enclosure for SQ. But, I geek out on calculating the metrics for box volume, port tuning, etc. and testing the results. Even if yours is sealed, it may have sufficient volume for me to add a port.

With that huge 12” in there I have about 1.35cu/ft. I did have a small ported enclosure with a JL 10” in a ported box in the same spot but didn’t like it. With the huge cabin it sounded way too muddy with no “punch” at all. I think because of the port it was canceling frequencies. I found it odd because I normally choose 10s over 12s in my builds. This enclosure actually acts like it has a port because it fires down with a large slot facing towards the front of the cabin.

I built a very similar box for mine but I didn’t semi-seal it to the floor. I also painted and sealed it rather than covering it since I was worried it’d look terrible. Haha. It sounds fantastic with my Audiofrog GB12. Only thing that sucks is the height I had to make it to fit the speakers makes it where I can’t tumble the seats without sliding I forward first since the arm rests hit.

Damn! I hadn’t thought of putting one there. Well played sir. Love it! Available?

Thx. It wasn’t my first choice I had a thin mount p3 10’ Fosgate in the rear but it didn’t have enough ass to it. I was hesitate to build this one until I threw in a cheap pre-fab and tried it out. It blew me away in the sound difference!!!

That's the exact enclosure I'm looking for, it's too bad I have a square sub...

A great enclosure is worth switching sub and circles are the most common for future projects. Very nice box. I would grab if I didnt have a bench. Although I didnt consider a Rockford a 'quality' sub .

Rockford sux?

Rockford sux?

only to the haters and misinformed

Rockford sux?

I dont think Rockford sux and I'm sure their higher levels like yours competes with the best. I have had subs/speakers like Dynaudio, Helix, old school Adire Audio that sounded better than my big retail store brand Kicker, Alpine, Rockford. I still liked those speakers (especially the Alpine type r's) but there were different levels. It all depends on what your ears are used to I guess. Regardless of the sub, THAT BOX IS AMAZING!!

Thanks for the compliments on the box. Yes, many subs/amps are very good depending on what you are going for. I love JL Audio but can’t bear the pricing. PowerBass is awesome for the money too!!!!
