decent

Well it is well built strong and stuff but I ordered a black one and got a gray one. And put 2 12 inch Rockford Fosgate punch P3's in it but had to cut some of the mdf so they would fit so if you want to put p3s in it you probably will have to modify it.

decent box

It's alright for a smaller sealed box. they make the sub holes big enough for almost any 12 so theres a good chance theyre a bit too big for your sub and you need to center the sub and drill outward to not strip the screws.

Well its a sub box, premade.

Have a couple of el cheapo hifonics subs in them. Sounds nice and clean. good carpet. Crappy of UPS to bang the one end of the box around so hard, some of the MDF was crushed but didn't cause a problem.

Solidly Constructed But Airspace Claims Are Incorrect

I had to deduct a star on the overall score because of the slightly smaller air space then what I needed. Most 12's today require between 1-1.5 cu ft min and with a strong enough amp would work fine with this box. Also, be aware of the recessed front plate when choosing this box. It makes for a very clean / attractive look but some of the higher end 12s with oversized mounting rings may not fit. I am running 2 Kenwood KFC-W3013PS subs and they barely fit but look and sound GREAT.
They hit hard, low, and clean and still maintain musicality.

It's ok, but not great.

I was looking for a quick and cheap box for my subs (Boston G5 12"s) since I had to leave my old one back home. The box itself looks great but mine came with the lower left of the front baffle knocked inward some so I had to bang it outward with a mallet. The inside had to be sealed with caulk and the thin amount of poly that lines the interior does nothing, rip it all out and add some yourself. The binding posts are very cheap but work. With an all square design it doesn't sound as good as other sealed enclosures with a slanted back even with trying various amounts of polyfill. The Absolute logo just hangs on the carpet by a small amount of glue and mine came off after a week of use. It gets the job done but not as well as other pre-made sealed enclosures I've used. Next time I'll just spend a little more and get a better quality box.

Great box

I installed two 12w0v2s in this box about 6 months ago. Very happy with the sound I am getting. Very sturdy box, and the pollyfill is nice too.

solid

Inexpensive and solid! I'm running two Pioneer 3500w max subs that are being pushed by a Behringer ep 4000 amp. No problems whatsoever! Definitely recommend!!!

Best box to buy the bass in this box hit hard

bought this box for my daughter. Hi-Fonic subwoofers which is 2.5 voice coil and 3000-watt power acoustik mono amp and the power acoustik 2009 DVD double din CD players in a 2006 Pontiac Torrent. I could really here her 2-blocks away this is no bull. it sound better then mine and I am pushing way more watts then her but I think because her box is sealed the bass sounds better. you really need to get this box and Sonic Electronix is no joke either they show you inside and outside of the box and everything else they sell they are the best. I wish Sonic carried the box called Groundshaker HBP212 dual ported box this is awesome box just costly.
