box building help
#1
Hey guys
I'm a newbie when it comes to subs and boxes but I got a free sub and amp and I want to build a box for it. I'd like to keep it as small as possible. I've searched the web but haven't found anything that I like. The sub is a JBL GT100 (10" single VC 4ohm) and the amp is a rockford fosgate 2 channel punch 300s.
The sub can handle 250rms and the amp can put out 300rms@4ohm ... so I figure it is a good match ... I just need the right size box now.
thanks for any help

12.5x12.5x12.5 = is a basic cube and ouhta do it just fine.
I gave a TAD extra for woofer displacement.
Anyone feel free to correct my math if im off?
Using 3/4 mdf by the way
BTW if you just wanna buy a box? A q logic # 1 is recomended.

well I've started the build and can't wait to install it and here how it sounds
I'm sure it will sound allright for being my first sub
one thing I'm still looking for to complete my system is to splice my OEM wires to my speakers with 18 guage wire but I can't seem to find small enough terminals to stay on the speakers ... any suggestions as to where I can get them? I also need a fuse holder. Or do I just go to my local car audio shop

try not to build it as a cube, more like a rectangle. if you can , slope the backside of the box.a square box will produce standing waves and kill your output. the gt100s are kickass cheap subs in a ported enclosure, but average in a sealed box. you can get the box specs right off of jbls website.
