Try to use the search tab at the top before positing. A basic well box is good enough for your application. Look around for box designs that catch your eye.

Re: subwoofer question, new to board

Hey,

Welcome to the board.

There is a "how to" build a sub box at the top of this section (link below). You should be able to make it fit the air required for your sub. Just remember to measure everything twice and seal the box air tight.

Cood luck!!

Re: subwoofer question, new to board

FYI...the Kicker L7 takes about 2 cu.ft. (sealed and ported) there are better subs for about the same money that will use less air thus needing a smaller box.

Look at the Image Dyanamics IDmax 12", Stereo integrity 12", SSA ICON 12".
