    I made a school boy error - have 2 x10" boxes & like a twit have just bought a brand new 12" sub.. can anyone see the problem - i made a balls up [:$]what should i do ?


    heres some pic's of my boot - i could cut into the wood at the back of seats & face the sub at the seats & use the (tiny) boot as the sub box - any views on how wellthis works please.


    otherwise i have to buy a 10" sub & sell the 12" i just bought - d'oh, but can use mu sub box


    do you think i could blag a retailer into doing a swap ?

    boot will not work as a sub box unless you fibreglass it and make sure it's all sealed air tight

    the best idea would be to build a box for the 12" sub to the manufactures specs (ported is usually better ;) ) and then you can build it to fit nicely into the boot of the car nicely

    where did you buy the sub from? if it was from a shop you may be able to go back and exchange it (as the 10" version of the same sub is prob a bit cheaper, and they may get funny about it cause of this, you could always upgrade to a 10" of the same value. then they'd prob be more willing to help you out)
