What should the dimesions be for a 12" 400 watt Subwoofer be? And yes, as I said I am getting a wooden box, and getting rid of my cardboard. FYI, for all who said you would rather listen to the 6x9, I fixed it, they don't bounce, the sub does. And it rattles the trunk even more.

    I think all everyone wants is for you to continue posts instead of creating new ones every day about the same topic. It makes it a lot easier to answer your questions when it is all in the same post...theres more information there already answered that people might just ask again and again if you continue making new posts.

    You dont make it any easier on yourself when one of your first posts on this forum puts the forum down. If this forum is not fast enough, there are more forums out there that likely have more members and will respond faster like you desire. Realize that these forums are made with helping people in mind. Someone will help you if you just wait for a response.

    As for the box, look up the subwoofer on the pioneer website (the only reason i know this is because i have read your other posts) and find the recommended specs for the sub box. Each sub is made with a certain box size in mind, and they will always give you these specs.

    Once you find out what volume you need figure out how to make it....

    Ex: 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft = 1 cubic foot
    1 ft x 1 ft x .5 ft = .5 cubic feet

    well thanks for the help. But I switch subs so it is a Rockford one.
