Was looking at purchasing this 12" Alpine. The demintions of the box i will be using is 18"x16"x13.5". Would this be a good match for this subwoofer?

My honest opinion. Yes but no also. I would recommend finding someone who knows how to build boxes to acoustically match it to you car.

Those are the dimensions that Alpine recommends so you should be fine. I would make sure it is 3/4 MDF though.

It should work well that's a little over 2 cubic ft so it should be alright manufacturer says 1.5 but u have mine in a 3 ft ported box and it sounds amazing

I have to agree that you should be fine. At least 3/4" mdf but even better 1" due to the amount of air you will be moving.

I have an X3 and I powered it with this: Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier Alpine MRV-M500 Mono V-Power Digital AmplifierI have it turned way down and this sub kicks. It's very tight and punchy. As for in a trunk, just turn the gain up a little and it should have no problem.

I have a quad cab, but the box has more cutouts then what was needed for my truck. If you have factory under seat storage it might fit. the box is really well built and the bass is tight. Don't expect really deep bass though.

Keep in mind its not a 15" subwoofer, its as deep as it will go for its size : ]

I dnt have time to measure but I put a 12inch sub in and it fit and I mean FIT. A spacer isn't needed but could be a good option.

Yes it is. I had mine hooked up to 2 cheap sony svc I had It souned pretty good. Aslo if you want good sount with this amp a lot of that would have to do with what style of BOX you have. I built a box for one 15inch sub and let me tell you my living room is 22x15. My whole house shakes. My wife is not a big fan of it due to the fact that Everything shakes and rattles when Im using it. I love I have it on for hours at a time.

You should be fine. I use mine in a Jeep Wrangler with a factory overhead soundbar. I've had plenty of volume even with the top off. Maybe you would need the pre-amp if you have a big subwoofer.

I'd say that's asking a lot from a 12" sub. My suggestion, go bigger and use multiple units (2, 4 or more).

Your speakers will need to be low profile as there is not a lot of room. I had two 10 inch MTX 800 subs that were too big for the box. I eventually placed two low profile 10 inch Kickers in there and they worked perfectly.

Your best bet honestly would be to go get a custom box built for this particular sub. Reason being the quality of the boxes sold here are TRASH!!!!!. Go to a shop and have them put the specs of the sub on a program and build the box for it to the specs of the sub.

Billy this should fit. You'll need to get a dash kit, and the other thing you may want to consider is this http://www.woofersetc.com/p-6459-gex-p20hd-pioneer-hd-radio-add-on-tuner-for-in-dash-pioneer-receivers.html. These adapters may get hard to find over time. But to really appreciate the HD sound quality this is a must. I also installed the Alpine 445U. Both cars MTX speakers. For my ears these speakers have the most accurate bass, mids. and highs. I have listened to any number of speakers. 60 watt 3 way in the rear, and 45 watt 3 way in the front. The under the dash amp match's up perfectly........The sound quality is excellent due to its parametric eq. If its good sound your looking for this is a nice unit. It does come with the DVD. Its Dimensions: 7 x 3-7/8 x 6-3/8 inches. Its pretty small. I know lots of people are buying headunits for a variety of reasons other than great sound. For me it was sound. Anyway, if you want to save yourself the hassle of the install Best Buy is a good place to start, but talk with the installer to make sure he meets your expectations. The one near my home is great, he had lots of experience, and knowledge, and in pursuit of his engineering degree. I also found this link. It looks like you could go bigger if you really wanted?. Good Luck. Jerry

Yes, i have a 16" subwoofer and in didn´t problem. The problem with this product was the packing, it was very big and the cost of the courier was more than the price of the product. Regards

Alex i have had this box in my 04 for over a year now cant remember the exact mounting depth i think it is 5 to 6 inches give or take a however i have 10" alpine subs in my box they sound awsome really put out loud clean clear bass and have zero clearance issues in my truck.

No. This box is good for a sub that requires at least 2 to 2.2 cubic feet of air space.

The mount depth is really close, I wouldn't get this box for a sundown x12. The x 12 mount depth is 9.67 inches and you have about 10 inches of usable space. You need more space behind the motor than that but you could make a spacer to make it work but that woul be ghetto. Hit up Starr Mountain Sound for a custom box and you will not regret it! His prices are reasonable.

The box has about 1.5 cubic feet per chamber. If the sub specifically states that it needs more air space than that then no. But with most 15 in subwoofers they need between 1 to 3 cubic feet per sub, and most can get away with 1.5 cubic feet. So in my opinion they would fit just fine
