Hi everyone,

New to the site, sorry if this is a moronic question but......

I have a Kaption 12" SPL sub in a Kaption box with a 4" port.

I previously had an Infinity Perfect 12.1 in a sealed box that was stolen along with my previous car.

I would like to put this Kaption in a smaller, sealed box for two reasons:

1. more trunk space, I miss how small my old 12" enclosure was compared to this huge ported monster

2. clearer bass, I liked the clean punch of the old Infinity even though it was much less powerful. the Kaption is a beast, but its also kind of indistinct.

suggestions or insults? thanks a lot

Go to the Kaption website, look up your sub in the support section (download the manual if you have to), find out the required recommended volume for a sealed box, buy or build a box with that volume, enjoy.

OK, so I was bored and did it for you.

.8 to 1.0 cubic feet for a sealed enclosure.

Thanks! I went to the local audio shop and found an angled front, sealed box that will measure .9 cubic feet with the driver installed.

Appreciate the help guys!
