SOURCE: dimension please for enclosure 12w3v2-d2
Typically you use one cubic foot per sub, so a 2 cubic foot box will work fine. To build a basic one, just a rectangular box, using 3/4" MDF (excellent material for a box), cut pieces this way:
2 - 25.5" x 13.5"
2 - 25.5" x 12"
2 - 12" x 12"
This will give you an interior volume of exactly 2 cubic feet. Cut your sub holes out of one of the 25.5" x 13.5" pieces.

Try going to Alpine web site, I think they have box building program as well that you just input your sub models into and it gives you blueprints for various types of enclosures. I know Rockford has one and a comparative attachment to compare equipt specs. Or if you call Alpine headquarters you may be able to get info that way, I once sweet talked a rep @ a demo vehicle I met doing some car shows that turned me on to a senior rep @ Korbon Trading the owners of Rockford Fosgate and they gave me specs for a 5 stage band pass box for some competition subs that was more intricate and detailed than anyone before that could find me, Won me first place in spl. Matching your box specs to your subs is crucial and the best specs are often kept a secret for demo competition vehicles! So ask around with some competition guys or other top experts if your real serious about your boooom.
SOURCE: building a box, need to know best dimensions for box and port
Hello dirt_digger6,
The specific sub you are asking about would seem to be the TS-302F which is the only 12" 800W Pioneer I have located.
Directly from Pioneer's support knowledgebase:
TS-W302F = Ported: 2.5 Cu.Ft. F3 = 39HzPort: 4 x 6.5 tuned @ 37 Hz with 12 % port noise.
An enclosure 16X18X21, constructed from 3/4" MDF will yield 2.69 Cu.Ft., allowing .19 Cu.Ft. displacement for the sub and port.
There's an excellent "box calculator" located here on the12v.com web site. You can measure the space you have to put the box and fiddle with the dimensions to get close to your ideal volume. There are also calculators on the12v.com which will allow you to calculate a port length based on port diameter (or width/height), enclosure volume, and desired tuning frequency.
Hope this helps.

10" subs need 1 cubic feet. 15" subs need 2.5 cubic feet. install them on its own volume of the box...
