Kpax.

If you are talking about the 12" DBK-212 then it would would all depend on what driver you were going to use. You might loose a few hertz in lower extension, but I highly doubt your daughter would notice. Plus the sliding baffle assembly will enable you to compensate for that unlike any other sub box out there.

If you're building the DBK-10 then its only 19" tall so you'ed be fine.

I wouldn't know about the DB212 but my regular DB for 10" drivers was too long (on purpose) And when I brought it back to the size it should be, it sounded noticeable better and a bit lower.
But that's just the other way around of what you are asking of course.
Here is the thread about that:

Thanks for the reply. I made cuts at 29".5 so it would fit in the back of rear seat in her car(93 honda accord) do you believe 1 12" sub would sound better and go lower than 2 10" sub. I am using a SI mag v1 sub and a mmats 800.1 amp.

I too have a length issue. My space is 31" at the max. I'm going to use 3/4"mdf, so my thought was whether or not it needed double thickness walls on the port end and maybe not quite double thick on the sealed end. It's that or loosing an inch from the chamber.

I have not bought the plans yet, still in the planning stages, so my thoughts are based on what I have seen in the photos. But I'm not going to pay for something that will not fit in my setup.

Will probably buy a couple 500w rms subs from Sundown to run with my 1000w rms Orion amp to put in it...
