building a subwoofer enclosure

i went to the store today and saw the enclosures they give away with the 12" jL audio W7... this thing doesn't look like it will fit into the trunk of a del sol because of its' height. i have all the materials. just need specs to work with... or somewhere i can buy a box that will fit. thank you

Re: building a subwoofer enclosure (deLsoL7)

just look up the specs from the site like they already said, and just make sure that when you build the box, it has the recomended airspace for that speaker. I believe The W7's require a **** load of airspace, and if your not sure on how to figure it out, you can go to http://www.the12volt.com under the "volume calculator" section. All you do is type in the thickness, height, and width of the box in order to find out the interior airspace for that specific box. Good luck with it, and let us know how it comes out!

If you search, you can find lots of good sites on fiberglasing.
