At the price they are asking,($40 shipped), this is a no-brainer. You'd be very hard pressed to buy the MDF used in this enclosure for the price they are selling the complete box for. Its true 3/4", ( I laid a caliper to it to check), and its advertised dimensions and airspace are spot on.

A winner

This is just what the woofer doc ordered. The poly fill is already installed. The black carpet looks great. I'm installing a Rockford T-1 dual 4 ohm 12 in the box. I'm anxious to hear how this is gonna sound in my Mark VIII.

Great bass

Bought this for an old punch 2 I had sitting around that I put into my sons car. Previously it was in a small truck box for an s10. Couldn't believe the difference that this box made. The sub is getting 200 watts from the little fosgate amp that I had for it but it is twice as loud as it was in my truck with no distortion. Obviously I had it in way to small of a box before. I got one happy kid though.

Exactly what I needed.

I purchased this box to house an Alpine type E sub. I had originally intended on building my own box, but after looking around at the prices of MDF, I found this box, I literally couldn't purchase the materials cheaper than buying this. It's sturdy, and is a perfect match for my sub. I am extremely pleased with my purchase, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a very well built, sealed, enclosure.

Good box!

For a pre built box it does the job very well! The poly fill is useless if you need a bigger box just order a bigger box... No leaks what so ever. I did replace it for a custom built ported box.

Great price

I'm running a rockford fosgate p2 in it. This box has held up great. i can hear a very small leak but only when I was checking for leaks. Otherwise it was inaudible from even a few feet away. Being 100% sealed is very crucial considering it is a sealed box. But overall id say that this is a great box. Cant beat the price. Nothing a little silicon cant fix.

SEALED ENCLOSURE

Yes its a prefab box, it is constructed very well with .75" MDF. Solid no leaks.Carpet well done.Looks nice. Just match the air space you want for your sub and your done. I could not build this for the price i paid, so its a no brainer for me. If i was looking for ported or vented i would build one myself because of propper tunning. Just wanted something simple and this exceeded my expectations.

Awesome price and fast shipping

Very nice for the money. You can't go wrong with this box. Very nice craftsmanship. Does not come pre-wired though. More than enough poly fill though and very durable carpet.

Nice Touch!!!

This box has bundled with the NVX 12" VSW sub and it does some good bass! Well crafted, quality carpet, more than enough polylester. It doesn't come pre-wired though, but since it was a free bundle... I could careless!

Solid Box

I use a JL Audio W3 in this box. It is firing to the rear in a Honda accord coupe. The sub has about 350 watts running to it. The box is very well built. The sound from it is perfect. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

decent box

I bought this box to house a 122x MOFO, which is kind of a tall order. The box is pretty thick and definetly acceptable for the price. Definetly plain jane. I wouldnt exspect it to stay perfectly sealed for more then a year with the sub I was useing but held up just fine for the 3 months I used it. Pretty good for the price and would definetly survive for a long time without any abuse.

Seems very well made

I have a 2700w on a 3400w amp installed on this Subwoofer Enclosure and play it very loud all the time and still no air leaks. This box is Big in the inside, looks like a mini tunnel. The Poly Fill is pertty well laid out, you will have to move a little out of your way to access the Speaker terminals but trust me its no big deal at all. Since the box is so big for a single box, it does not move around trunk nearly as much as smaller single boxes. Had it about a month and two weeks since the time this review was written.

Decent subwoofer enclosure

I wish it was a little smaller since it is a sealed enclosure. But it does put out a nice sound with the poly fil.
I'm sure you can find better, smaller boxes

Just do it!

I totally expected this box to be a temporary solution to be replaced later by a "real" box. Well, I like it just the way it is. Won't be building that "real box" anytime soon! I have a Massive Hippo 122 and 3600 watt amp, so I expected the box to explode at some point, but it hasn't and it sounds great! Thick, heavy, tight, clean, handsome, cheap!!!

Very nice box, and well built. I have a memphis c3 sub, powered by an alpine mrx-m110 @2ohms. I have only had it for a short amount of time, but it hasn't fell apart. So I'm satisfied. Would buy again.

Good value

This a good box for the money. can't be beat for me being that it was free with my speaker purchase

Cons: some of the carpet material was peeling off when I opened it. Can hear some resonance with higher bass notes. Terminals are a bit cheap.

If you can't build your own go ahead and purchase it

This is coming from some one who has built boxes and installed many systems.

very satisfied with this enclosure

i usually build my own enclosures, however this deal was too good to pass up on, especially since it was exactly the volume that i needed. buying instead of building was a huge time saver for me and i didn't have to clean saw dust off of everything in my garage. i would not hesitate to buy another Belva enclosure again. great product ! ! !

What's "budget" about it?

Great sealed enclosure, and the poly lining is a nice touch. No leaks. The carpet is darker (blacker?) than most automotive-grey boxes. Didn't strip any screws during install. The nameplate (on the front! they're really proud of it) is a little obnoxious and attaches with small screws, which may create a leak, so I took the plate off and put the screws back in their holes. Terminal binding posts are what you'd expect and were tight. Overall just what you'd expect for a carpeted, sealed enclosure at a great price.

Sealed box heaven!

Bought this for a 12" JL w3. Replaced a lager ported box that took up too much room in the trunk and was hard to tune for an overall flat system response. Ported gives you quite a bit more bass around 30-60hz but between 100-180hz it sounds horrible And if your crossing over around 125hz and want flat response, sealed is the way to go! This was a great bargain. Sturdy, light and perfect amount of airspace. I was worried that it was like .125 over my specs and had a small layer of dampener but in the end I just slapped it in and started tuning. Glad I did, sounds great!!!

Great for deep low hard hitting bass

These boxes are built extremely well and hit very hard. If you want to hit those low window breaking notes these can take it. I have 4 of them and have never had one problem.

Excellent Pre-fab. box! (12" Champion Pioneer sub.)

Made very well and sturdy with true spec. high quality wood. Nice gold plated terminals and the inside is truly lined with poly-fli, glued securely, solidly sealed with no leaks. Does have a logo screwed to the front which at first I didn't like but has grown on me. I have attached my sub. amp to the back of the box and has held up very well. I trust in the build and plan on attaching another small amp to the top of the box as well. Fit almost perfect for a 12" Pioneer Champion sub (I suggest lining the front and inside wall with gasket tape for a more sung fit). I un-screwed the speaker terminals and put a little gasket tape around it to seal it better to the box. Highly recommend this box. Feels like you could drop it and would still hold up.

Great Sealed Box!

Own 2 of these bad boys already.
Pros: Strong constructability, clean fabrication. Will definitely by a 3rd one, and would recommend to anyone who plans doing a single sealed woofer in their application.
Cons: None

You cannot build a better quality box for cheaper

I can't believe how much of a steal this box is. Very solid, sturdy box with attractive carpeting and even polyfil on the inside walls. Bought it for a Type R 12 and it sounds VERY good. Hits the lowest note in Young Jeezy's "Put On" easily! Never seen a sealed setup do that. If you're going sealed then buying this box is a no-brainer.

Belva 12" Enclosure

I bought this as a package that came with a JL 12" sub. The box is well made and fits perfectly in a 2016 Jetta. Items that should be included with the box are a 2-foot length of 10-gauge speaker wire and 8 wood screws.

Great value and built well

This is the third one of these enclosures I have purchased from Sonic Electronix and all three have arrived quick and packaged well. Would not hesitate to buy another and I consider the Belva line of prefab boxes a "best buy" in each class whether it be ported or sealed.

Deep bass, solid box.

I'm running a 12 inch Kicker Comp in this amd let me tell you, This is the deepest sounding sealed box I've ever heard. I had one from Best Buy that was a little bit smaller than this 1 and it doesn't even come close to being as deep sounding as this box. Honestly I prefer two of these boxes over my old double ported box I had. The build quality is outstanding. It's glued all the way around and there are no leaks. I shopped and compared boxes for quite a while and you're not gonna beat this one.

Purchased this box for a home subwoofer and have no regrets. If you need a sealed box with this internal airspace I don't think you will be disappointed. Great cost effective sealed box and of course with Sonic Electronix you get lightning fast shipping.

Perfect for what it's advertised as.

It's was the exact dimensions for the sub intended, looks good (other than the silly belva aluminium badge that was easy to remove) and has held up to an 800 watt rms sub thus far. Great for standard sized 12s though needs a little trimming for slightly oversized baskets.

Great Box at a Great Price

I bought this sub box to house my NVX NSW124V2 (12" 4-ohm DVC) subwoofer. I use the NVX JAD 900.5 5-channel amp to power the sub. Wired at 2 ohms it gives me 440+ watts. The sealed box really puts out bass that's powerful, tight & accurate. After 30 days I haven't noticed any deterioration with the build. And I have been slamming my system so I could check speakers/amps/etc. The sub itself calls for a 1.25 cu ft space so this box works out perfectly IMO. Highly recommended.
