(5 out of 5) by G. Stilson on Oct 1, 2009i ordered this for my jl w1 12" sub in my truck and it works great...nice quality for the price and it sounds awesome. i think the fiber fill does help also. i would recommend for anyone looking for an inexpensive single 12" box.
Best Bargain and Great Product
(5 out of 5) by Robbie Mar on Sep 15, 2009 (Ewa Beach, HI USA)I was in the market for a single 12" speaker box for my 2 12 inch Kicker sub woofers. I have a box for the two speakers but I didn't want the box to take up all (or most) of my trunk space so I decided to look for a speaker box for a single speaker and stumbled across this box. I decided to get this box based on the reviews that past customers had on this product as it was a very favorable item to have and also the great price.
Lets first start off with where this box was installed. I installed this Scosche Se12 in the trunk of my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT sedan. The trunk has tons of space in there but the rear dash prevented me from pushing this box against the rear seat as it was a little too tall. There is about a three inch gap from the box to the back seat which I could live with. It is secured with two bungy cords to ensure that it does not slide around or fall over. The build quality is very good.
The speaker that I have in there is a 2004/2005 Kicker Comp which is a 4 ohm only, Single Voice Coil (SVC) 12". Connection with the internal wiring from the speaker box to the speaker terminals was easy. Securing the speaker along with the speaker grille was no problem. The "faux" or simulated fiber glass insulation was minimal but effective for what was there. So installing the speaker was no problem and very easy to do. The speaker box with the speaker and grille installed wasn't that heavy at all.
The box and speaker is connected to a Phoenix Gold Ryval V752 Phoenix Gold 500W 2-Channel Power Amplifier bridged at 4 ohms. So technically speaking, I should be getting close to about 350 - 300 watts of power to the speaker. The sound of the speaker and box sounded really good with a nice bump inside and outside of the car. This box definitely enhanced the sound quality of my stereo system. My brother said that it could be louder if I went with a bigger amp as he claims that Kicker sub's are "power hungry".
Overall thoughts of the product are that I would recommend this to anybody looking to save some space (and money) in their trunk area without compromising sound quality. It is very simple in design, very effective for what it does, and respectfully affordable. In the future, I look to install a different 12" speaker that could get to 2ohms stable in which I think this box would rock even more. I might be buying one more later for my extra speaker to put in my wife's car.

Good Enclosure/Good Deal
(5 out of 5) by D. Lattin on Sep 10, 2009 (New York)Nice heavy enclosure. Fit the Kenwood 7204 no problem. Good quality. Could have done without the wiring b/c I like to use 12 gauge wire and this is more like 16 or 18 but no problem . There was an extra wire for something else and I was not sure what it was so I just cut it off. Works good and sounds good. I would give it more like 4 1/2 stars but for the price($40 with shipping) it IS 5 stars. Seller sent it in perfect form-fitted carboard packaging UPS.

Scosche Se12 12" Sealed Subwoofer Enclosure - Sweet Deal!
(5 out of 5) by W. Bodwell on Aug 4, 2009 (Los Angeles, CA USA)I purchased Two of these Scosche Se12 12" Sealed Subwoofer Enclosures in order to test out a few different 12" subwoofers and then give one to my nephew for his car audio system. I paid $29.99 Each and they were both Shipped for FREE using the Amazon Super Saver Shipping!!! I also received them within 3 days of ordering! The shipping charges alone normally prohibit this type of purchase, even if the item price is a bargain! The enclosures were double-boxed but there really wasn't any type of padding in the main shipping box to protect the enclosures...the subwoofer enclosure (inside it's own, form-fitting cardboard box) was just floating around loosely in the oversized cardboard shipping box. Luckily they are built pretty solid and survived UPS's shipping unscathed!
I will usually custom-build most of my subwoofer enclosures using MDF and/or Fiberglass, but for testing purposes, and/or if you just want a very quick and easy solution, you absolutely cannot go wrong for the price! I highly doubt I could even buy the materials to build one myself for the cost of these enclosures shipped to my doorstep! And I didn't have to spend any time whatsoever to make them, get dirty, or pull out a single power tool!!!
These are very well-built boxes if you consider that they are Off-The-Shelf, Genenric enclosures. They are constructed from good-quality 3/4" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and the exterior carpet and interior Fiber-fill/Poly-fill batting material (basically pillow stuffing) are a bonus. Could you build a better enclosure yourself, with thicker MDF, internal bracing, with a custom shape and carpet color?...Of Course! But not for less than twice the price just for the materials alone, and it would take away some of your valuable personal time to build them as well. These come with a pre-installed Terminal/Connection Cup and enough Speaker Wire to connect your Single Voice Coil subwoofer, but you may need a bit more wire to connect a Dual Voice Coil subwoofer in series or parallel.
The only problem that I can forsee with these is that the Subwoofer Mounting Hole is Pre-cut. So if your 12" subwoofer requires a slightly SMALLER CUT-OUT or Mounting Hole these WILL NOT work for you, so BE SURE to MEASURE or Have the Exact Cutout specs for the Subwoofer you plan to use BEFORE YOU PURCHASE these, or before you purchase a subwoofer if you already have this box!!!
Other than that, this is THE ABSOLUTE BEST VALUE for a "Plug & Play" 12-inch Sealed Subwoofer Enclosure that you will ever find!!! Especially if you can get the FREE SHIPPING through Amazon.com!!!

great box!!!
(5 out of 5) by milton on Aug 3, 2009i bought this for a mustang but the size is a bit two big for the side panel.
aside from the size this box not only does it hit, it hits really hard. i paired it with a kicker CVR12 and the car alarms of the side cars go off in mid volume and at $29 dollars you cant go wrong.
