I bought this enclosure and was disappointed. My 1500w system with two 12" subs kick so hard that the walls of the enclosure vibrate as if they are going to come out of its joints. It results in a loud vibration noise. Would not purchase again.

This box plays the notes amazingly. From high to lows, it will slap you in the face and keep coming 'til you can't take it. But like the guy before me, the walls flex as if they are goin' to blow. I have 2 Kicker CVR's in this, and the first week was great. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a vibration. So I popped my trunk, and found a line of saw dust on my trunk floor behind the sub box. Looks like the back wall was literally blowing out and creating dust where the nails are. So, I had to screw a bunch to stop the rattle, but it still bounces, and isn't very sturdy like the other walls. Very flimsy. Not too happy. Would not purchase again.

This box I knew was going to be big. but I didn't think this big, it barely fit into my trunk but thankfully it did. I put polyfill on the walls inside and it is overall a great box, very sturdy strong walls unlike the previous comments, the box looks great and my two 12'' infinities sound beautiful in it thank you sonic.
pros: great looking great sturdy box
cons: its huge

The box wasn't even glued together on some parts...
The wood was some of the lowest quality wood, it compared to particle board.

Had to get a new box after 3 weeks of use because the walls vibrated so much and it sounded terrible.

You get what you pay for with this box.

im running 1200 true watts to 2 alpine type R's the power from my subs rattled the walls loose and made a terrible noise...if you are running 500-800 watts this would be an excellent box, but its not built strong enough to handle more power than that.

I played this box for about a week when all the sudden i herd a very loud vibration.I popped the trunk and tryed to figure out what was wrong. I ended up pushing down on the box and the vibration quit. The back part of the box had been blown out of place. I cant even play the speakers anymore very disappointed. I would not recomend this box to anyone.

This box hits hard and fits my 2 12" kenwood performance subs well. I'm running a 1800w kenwood 9105D amp (900rms @ 2 ohm) to the 2 subs (400rms each). Shakes the entire car, even with sound deadener that is literally on every inch of the trunk and most of the interior. Unfortunately, the 2 terminals are poorly designed for this box I think, I had trouble with them right away, the subs shook the nuts off of the bolt holding the wire almost immediately, so if you notice any problems w/ power, check there first. Otherwise this is a great buy.

I bought this box, and I was skeptical on how they would sound with my brand new 12" Pioneer Premier Champion Pro Series subs (TS-W3002D2), and let me tell you thing things slammmm! The lows are amazing and the highs are alright. I'd say if you're looking for that deep bass with these speakers, this is the box to use. The highs don't hit extremely loud, but you can still hear them pretty well. I was looking for deep bass anyways. Talk about severe trunk rattle. Spend the $80 on this box, it'll be worth it, especially with those subs.

I bought this box for a Kenwood system and am extremely impressed. It was not as big as you would think so it will fit in your trunk. For the price you can't beat it for a custom box. Well worth the price and then some if you want the best from a system go with this box or any profesionally ported box the only con is the terminals the plastic nuts make me nervouse and they would be easy to lose. SonicElectronix got you covered for sure if you don't know what your doing ask them for what you think you want it to sound like and they will get you squared away. A huge thanks goes out to SonicElectronix. They know how to put a system together that will be compatible for you.

Put this box in my Durango and it is LOUD. I'm running 2 Boston Acoustics G112-4 on 400W RMS. Its like the box was made for those speakers. I expected the box to be nice for the price but it competes with some custom boxes Ive had in the past. If this box matches the specs for your subs, don't hesitate.

Overall

The construction is ok, but it looks like they used a cheaper MDF than usual. Also, be advised that the box volume is not as advertised. Actual internal volume (per enclosure) is 1.3 cu-ft. Port dimensions are 12" * 25" * 1.5", and with the volume this works out to a tuning of about 36 - 37 Hz when the sub is installed. This is not optimal for my Type-R subs, but still works. I would have probably went with a larger enclosure if I knew ahead of time.

I have a 2008 Scion XB and went from 2 10" kicker comps to 2 12" Alpine Type-R's and this box was perfect, high quality for sound and perfect for holding subs. I would highly recommend this box for anyone looking for a great deal on a box. One thing to be weary of is when the box is shipped nothing is used to cover the holes or the port so shipping popcorn gets inside the box and ports, use a shop vac to get it all out and you're good to go. Shipping was also quite fast, ordered the product on a Friday, shipped late Monday, and received it that Friday. Next day I installed everything.

this is a very well built box. I've got 2 Hifonics HF12S4's in them and they sound really good now that they're broken in. I've put some dynamat on the MDF and some small polyfill in the corners. The dual slot vent design works really good.

It took approximately about 40 minutes to extract all of the packing peanuts from the box because Sonicelectronix practically filled the sub cavity and the vented slots with packing peanuts!

When I got the box it was completely filled with packing peanuts, and it was quite a job getting them all out at first. I did see some spots where the wood glue was coming off and peeling also.

So far it has sounded fairly well. Just today the top wood has came loose. Either the wood glue couldn't hold up or something else. So the wood rattles at high volumes.

As alot of people have mentioned, they had problems with their terminal cups on them, being broken or something. Mine came perfectly fine, not broken and they work well.

I am using 12 gauge speaker wiring, and running 2 RE Audio 12d2 (no longer sold on sonic electronix for some reason). They are extremely loud and is the reason why i think my enclosure went so fast. I have had it less then a month.

All-in-all, its great for the price for what you get. I will soon be buying a replacement for this box with a custom enclosure with a bit more durability.
