I was hoping to transfer that from my last car to my FRS. Is it possible to modify one of your enclosures to fit my 12'' sub? I could always use packing material to compensate for the lack of internal volume right?
Thanks

Yes, we can modify our 10" enclosures to house a 12" sub by customizing the face of the enclosure. We essentially move the subwoofer mounting surface and integrated MDF mounting ring from its recessed position to make it a surface mount. This will effectively increase the overall subwoofer diameter allowed to be about 12.5" and increase the mounting/magnet depth to about 9". The enclosures internal volume is also increased to .9 cu ft. In trade, this modification makes the enclosure incompatible with our grill option.
I looked up the specs on your 12" Kicker Comps and Kicker recommends a sealed volume of 1.0 cu ft for a compact enclosure design, while our modified enclosure would come in at .9 cu ft. We stuff all of our enclosures with polyfil acoustical sound dampening material in order to allow the customer to slightly tune the sub and enclosure combo to their liking. This material smooths out the sound and slows down the sound waves within the enclosure, essentially making it act like a larger enclosure within a reasonably close percentage. I feel that if you left most of this material in the enclosure you could make up the .10 cu ft needed to achieve the recommended 1.0 cu ft.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Email or PM me if you would like a quote for performing this modification, estimated shipping charges, etc.
