bberman, totally solid info for this dude. Exactly how I build my boxes for Eclipse subs.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Forbidden in your opinion what is the optimal volume for Titanium’s? My personal preference for SQ/SPL is 1.25 cu/ft.

Would want to know a little more about the car's transfer function before I chose the final box. I would probably build two or 3 boxes and do some serious listening before nailing one down. My preference for both the aluminum and titanium drivers is 1.1cu.ft net volume for the 12" drivers, so pretty close to the volume you have recommended, which I assemed to be gross volume.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

I have built many test enclosures for both the Aluminums and Titanium’s. I have tested them in many different vehicles and too have found that 1.25 (gross volume) seems to be the magic number.for best overall sound.

bberman, where in the world do you find 1" mdf? i can only find 3/4"Quad L Handyman services

today i checked on the price of the sw8122dvc and im told it will be $380 to buy is that anywhere near the price it should be? does anybody have an alternative sub that matches the ability of the alums?Quad L Handyman services

Just for reference, I have that Eclipse sub, and its in a 3/4" MDF 1.0 cf enclosure.....I am powering it with a JBL BP600.1 and it sounds great. I did not build the box myself, so i didnt double up the baffle, but thats a real good idea.  Anyway the box gives some real tight bass and killer SQ, but make no mistake this is a seriously loud sub.  Since I have never gone bigger than 1.0 cf, I cant reccomend anything else, but listen to Bberman1 hes the resident Eclipse man in this forum.

Home stores such as Home Depot etc do not carry it. You need to go to a "real" lumber yard.
