The enclosure is really great. I rewired my Fosgate and gave it some more power and the dust cap cracked! Oh well, I got a bonus on my paycheck, so I have an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 coming. I'll have it next Monday, and I'll post a pic of it installed. When I installed it, I cut the carpet to fit with a box cutter. I didn't opt for the wingnut. Instead I used a bolt in the lower mounting location, so I don't have to unscrew it to get at my spare, and the carpeting sits flush.

 

This enclosure wont fit 'verts? At least that what Crutchfield's website says. I couldn't find anything on Scosche's site.

 

Just received an e-mail back from Scosche saying the enclosure will not fit the vert due to differences between the coupe vs. vert. darn.

 

Sorry to hear about your speaker. I've got a Infinity Perfect 12.1d and Alpine amp sitting here just waiting for my box to arrive. It's set to arrive Monday so I'll be sure to post some pics as well. According to the Infinity theile-small parameters, this 1.2cuft box should be perfect.

 

You have to be careful along the side edges of the rear seats. The backing does not run all the way to the edge of the seat.

 

Correct. It will not fit the verts

 

Looks like Monday is our Mustang Car Audio install day. Anyone else wanna get in on the fun?

 

Today, I installed my Alpine amp and Scosche 12in box with Infinity Perfect 12.1d. Here are some pics of the box front and back and of it all installed. The box quality is quite good, it's some sort of composite all around with a good speaker terminal and a light fill. I had to cutoff the ends of the speaker leads to use bare wire for connections. The top bracket on my box is a bit of a pain, it doesn't mount snug to the box without some washers and it may be tough to line up. The bottom bracked worked fine, I just need to make sure I keep a 14mm socket around in case I need to get to the spare.

The more I think about it the madder I get about Ford not carpeting under the skipper sub box. I absolutely hate the bare spot. Guess I need to go find some carpet somewhere.

 

So how does it sound fireing sideways like that? I have always been told fire the sub to the tail lights. Looks nice n snug!!

 

It's a perfect fit there. I recommend this box to anyone who doesn't want to build their own. It sounds great. Much better than I thought it would sideways. I had always been told to fire subs toward the tail lights as well, something about the low frequencies need a longer distance to your ears.

I have a JL Audio 10w3 in my Explorer and this 12 hits a little lower and harder. But, now I notice tons of rattles, it's crazy. Everything vibrates... good thing I have some dynamat but I don't think I'll be able to get all the rattles out. I don't have those problems in my Explorer which leads me to think the Mustang is not put together quite as well. That and my IUP always rattles just from normal driving with no radio!

 

Well, the Exploder also has a LOT more cabin space to pressurize, so rattles will be a bit less. Also, the panels are further from you, so the rattles would be harder to hear. Well, the Mustang SHOULD be built a bit tighter than it is.

 

Think you could get a 15 XXX in there...looks like there might be a few inches to widen that hole???? Maybe some polyfill to make the box seem bigger...

 

Wow, a XXX 15 in 1.2 cubes sealed? And, I seriously doubt the mounting depth would allow it. The old XXX is really deep, and the new one even deeper. I won't say no, but I really doubt it. Custom, sure, but not in the Scosche.

 

There is a new XXX? I dont know what version I have but I have a 12 from my old car. It just seemed there was enough room to make the hole wider but I wasnt sure about the depth or if it was enough airspace. So no go huh....


Wow...I just saw the pics of the new ones. That looks pretty darn sweet!!! That also would NOT fit in a 15 lol. So would one of the new 12s fit...probably not.

 

I don't know. Neither Scott nor Dave will release any tech info- just teaser pics. Yes, that includes Tottie Johnson's girlfriend in the calender.

 

Question - Where did you tap the amp into for this? I am considering this solution and was wondering where.

Thanks

 

I am guessing you are just adding to the 500 system. If so I would tap the rear speaker wire with a LLC. Then run a power wire from the battery.

 

For those of you with the unloaded Scosche enclosure, what was the size of the cutout? As we all know, all subs don't have the same mounting hole size! Anyone measure it?

Thanks,

Tony

 

I didn't measure it but my JL 12W6 barely fit. I would say the hole is 11in to 11.86in wide and there is some extra space for the rim of the subwoofer which is about 12.5in wide. I would say depthwise you probably can't go much further than the 7-8in. Here are some specs on my speaker that fits and sounds awesome:
