I've got 3 JL 12W6's that I may or may not keep in lieu of 2 MB Quart 12's or 10's (I care about SQ not SPL), however, I'm having a difficult time finding schematics and enclosure designs on the net. I'm fairly handy with a saw and a screw gun, so I don't think that the construction will be the problem, I just need a template from which to start. Also, what do you guys think is the best form of enclosure for SQ? Thanks in advance.

Here are the spec's for the JL subs. As far as sq I would do a sealed enclosure.

Sealed Enclosure Range: 0.75-1.75 cu.ft. (21.0-49.5 liters)
Ported Enclosure Range: 1.50-2.50 cu.ft. (42.5-71.0 liters)

As far as Enclosure Design, and bast box, etc..which way to have them fire...it all depends on the vehicle...

And for SQ, it is best to go with a Sealed Enclosure, ported and Bandpass enclosures are more for Bass.
