Where can i find a good subwoofer box diagram online?
I have a friend that wants me to build him a box for his new system. I was trying to find a good website where it shows how big to make a box for 3 kicker cvr 12s. I have built boxes before but i know with these kickers you need a specific amount of porting space for the subs to breath. any websites you can show me will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
have you tried kicker’s website?

I just pulled that from kicker’s website. It has all the info you need. Always check the manufacturer’s websites first.

I want to build a metal console for my bronco to hold my sub, lock and be waterproof for when the top is off. Will I need to do anything special to make it sound good or should I just make out of wood?
well i would recomend wood, the enclosure is really what makes a speaker, but if you want to try a steel one by all means, but you need to keep a few things in mind. one a box needs to be air tight even when put in extreme conditions (sub full blast) also the inside should be treated, i suspect that a metal surface would cause some wierd resonance, but i have never seen this done, so i realy cant say for sure. Also it needs to be rigid, so sheet metal is out of the question, it would need to be like 1/4-3/8 thick, and now your talking some serious wieght issues.
If you create it out of MDF you could still make it water proof and lockable. i have seen people coat them with bed liner. and also there is some MDF that is waterproof, very expensive, and typically it is special order, but very good and very water proof.
