Could You use either of these enclosures for two Brahmas?

I'm lazy and I don't want to build my own box.

Yes, but why not save yourself $200+ and build your own?

SubZero makes a box specificly for the Brahma 12. It is quite nice. Why not e-mail kirk and see if they have 1 for the 15...

So, does that mean that these two wouldn't hold up? I most likely wouldn't try to go with a prefab ported box, but the sealed one is a possibility. I live in a tiny shack of an apt. with very few tools, so building a box would be difficult.

Dude it's not hard at all, well the ports might be hard, but sealed is not hard.

As far as power tools, I don't have a thing all I did was have my neighbor cut the wood/fiberboard.

I believe Home Depot cuts wood, 25cents a cut, first 2 are free.

Not hard at all my friend.

Well, if they'll cut the wood, than I could handle the rest. I never knew they would do that. I have a drill, I just don't have a table saw or a jig saw.

My thoughts:

If cost is a concern, then definitely do it yourself. HOWEVER, if the price isn't too much of a barrier, this is the nicest pre-fab cabinet you will ever find. I've been in car audio off-and-on for the last 15 years, and the quality of finish in these Subzero boxes are better than most full custom boxes that cost 2-3X as much. The thermoformed plastic wrap, exact fit, grille system, etc. are all extremely high quality.

So, these two particular boxes are sturdy enough for brahmas- even though they are not specifically designed to house them? How would the SQ be with the ported one (if you had to guess)?

[DanWiggins]

From my experience with Subzero, EITHER cabinet should be more than stout enough - these things are built like tanks.

The SQ on the vented should be good, but I'd expect the sealed to be considerably better. And with a pair of Brahmas and decent (600-800W) power per driver, you shouldn't be lacking in the SPL department. Well, at least for sane daily levels anyway!

Thanks, Dan. I went ahead and ordered the sealed one, along with 2 15" Brahmas and 2 Revolution1500's.


Now I just need to decide what car to buy....
