Ive got 2 12" Subs and the amp!
Basically the design will be having the 2 subs at the top seprated by the width of the amp which will be lower down!
Will be slighty raised as its based on a false floor and will angled upwards :)
As its my first crack at doing it... anything that i should do or know?! it wont be sealed just the floor and some structual planks underneath?

What you's reckon?

You mean the sub boxs wont be fully sealed ?

If thats what you mean then you need to seriously re-think your design. The boxs have to be sealed or they are going to sound poo

Not necessarily, you could use ported or bandpass design.

I know that, it goes without saying.

But in this application its odvious he didnt mean it like that. And chances are the subs are designed to be sealed too.

Oh, and he could also have Infinite Baffle, Single Reflex Bandpass, Dual Reflex Bandpass, Series Tuned Dual Reflex Bandpass etc, etc... :P
