Alpine Type R 12 - .7 - 1.0 cubic feet sealed
The polyfill may aid in helping with a smaller volume but the main reason we use it for is the sound quality benefits. You can take it out to play around but personally I've always like the sound of an enclosure with some dampening compared to without, both standard mdf enclosures and fiberglass.

You're right about the Alpine and the D6s, but you're off on the JL audio and the D3s.
Well, with both the JL audio, you're not subtracting the driver displacement, so you are about 2.5 liters too small
JL Audio Tech Sheet
With the D3 12s, they say a 1.5 cuft enclosure (net). Unless you're talking about the DS12s... but those are a nom 250W, max 500W.
D3 Tech Sheet
Thanks for your help!

^^ Sorry, should of stated that it was close and not dead on, the subwoofer displacement should be factored in (along with anything else in the enclosure) but in all reality the difference isn't much. With all the enclosure I've built over the years (mdf & fiberglass) I've found that you'll have a hard time hearing the difference when things are that close. That is with most subwoofers, you may come across one that the difference is quite audibility noticeable. I know if measured with an RTA you'll be able to see a difference, but most common people wouldn't be able to hear the difference in 150 - 200 cubic inches (.086 - .115 cubic feet)
Of course this is with a sealed enclosure only, ported is another story. Diamond's tech sheets must be off somewhere, I pulled those numbers from the tech sheet that comes with the subwoofer. Maybe one is last years model and ones current
, but that's what the D3 12 (non shallow) sheet stated.

Yes, We extended the introductory pricing through october 31st, after that it will return to 349.99
There are no plans for a spare tire enclosure at this time, seems to be a popular item for people to want to have We may be able to custom make you a spacer ring to extend the mounting depth, it will change the overall look of the enclosure by not having a vinyl flush trim ring, but at least it will get the woofer to fit. p.m. us if you're interested in that option.

This looks top notch. Excellent work. Over the years, my friend and I have built a number of glass enclosures to form fit in both cars and trucks, so I know the amount of hard work that goes into it.
I too would be interested in:
1. 10" enclosure
2. passenger side also
