Shivas

ok here... these are the dimensions... not the volume, you guys can figure that out... i dont know how... but here... it is... 16" x 12" x 13.25" 16" is the length... from left to right... etc... 12" is the height... 13.25" is the depth... what would th volume be of that?

and that is for 1/2 of my box... so, in other words... for one sub... and that is the inside... not including the thickness of the wood... etc...

i put my numbers into a calculator thing for volume online... came up with... 1.4722222222222223 cubic feet...

[quote]They really need about 1.2 cubic feet for a good sound[/quote] so if your calculations are right you can fill more of the box up to achieve 1.2ctft. but you can do that after testing what it sounds like with 1.4cuft. hopefully everything works out for you, because it seems very sketchy going about using the same box, but GL doing so :-)

how deos it seem sketchy? ... i made a smaller box, if u include the port... bigger by knocking out the port... same thing as making a new box, just preserving money, and a big waste of time when you can get the same thing out of it... without building it all over again... i could also plug the bottom of the 2 walls left in the middle to make it like... an inch and a half shorter on each end... which makes it like... 1.3342013888888888 ... and that is really close to his suggestion... which wouldnt make too much a difference...

ok i sealed it... and left it at 1.4722222222222223 cubic feet... ... ... i havent ordered the subs yet... just the JBL amp... any more suggestions on a different sub will still be taken into concideration... something that will bump more than 2 12" shivas... i will order the subs tomarow prolly... thnx for all the help... if it doesnt sound right... a new box, will be the way to go... i dont mean to sound ignorant like i am not listening... i am listening... i just dont want to waste the money when i car rig my own to make it work... if it doesnt... then i will go for the money... i am a kid... i dont have a job... so money, is a HUGE object for me... so, ya... any more help will be appreciated... i love how much help you guys give out... keep it up... it helps people like me from doing the wrong thing and being dissapointed... =) thnx...

... anyone?

I actually have sumwere around 300 dollars for 2 subs... is there anything i can get that bumps more than the shivas?

well, something that will give out more bass...
