I purchased a generic 12in box an did this exact same modification to it. I was going to put an angle on the back but got lazy. It fits perfect under the seatbelt box.

lol...sorry i thought you'll meant one that would hang in the OEM location not one on the ground. you had surgery on your foot so you cant take pics.......????? ok lol....get better so you can take pics

Too bad you guys don't live in AZ. I'd build you all some bad@ss boxes at a great price

I built a 3.5cuft 4th order enclosure for my (2) 1000rms RE SX 10's. It fits perfect for height and width in the raised part of the trunk perfect, but protrudes out a bit due to it's size. But for a single 12 you would only need a 2.5cuft and it would sit flush on that raised section. Just in case you don't know what a 4th order bandpass is I'll let ya know... It's a sealed box connected to a ported box, the subs are hidden in the middle of the box. If you remove the factory sub you can fire the port directly up through the hole in the rear deck, this routes all of the bass into the cabin of the car and eliminates trunk rattle. Also 4th orders are very good for sound quality and if made right can gain 3db SPL.

Click the link in my sig to see the making of the 4th order.

Here is a vid of my (2) 10's in a 4th order...

Single 12" with CF cover and custom mounted STB. I did it this way so that the trunk area would match the theme of my engine compartment.

My box is rectangular, with the CF cover on top.

Check out this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...look-like.html

It's kind of old but I'm sure you can get some ideas from it. There's some in the that match the description you're looking for. My setup is on page 5, I'd suggest going custom over pre-fab, it looks good, and sounds better ...

Found this on that thread, it's a very nice design layout that utilizes the factory sub hole...

I love that design and the best part is that he still has access to his spare. Mine use the stock sub hole as a port, but I had to take my spare out

Looks like a 1000rms Earthquake Subzero-12....
http://www.earthquakesound.com/subzero.htm


They were a $400-$500 sub back in 2006, it has 4inches of long throw excursion so this thing moves, would be amazing with a ported 4th order because you would feel alot more air moving and it would give girls in the back seat with long hair small afro, similar to how my 1000rms RE SX 10's do

Earthquake makes some badass subs too, I've heard the HoLeeS12
12" Elite Competition series and it was amazing for a single sub setup, can burp @ 7000rms...
