My buddy and I built a new box for his 12" JL W7 to put into his Epic 23v last week. It came out pretty good and it hits HARD! He's running an Alpine PDX 1000.1 to it. The box he had before was too small and tuned at like 50hz so we went with a 1.75 cu ft box per JL specs and have it tuned at 36hz like they recommend.
In the first pic, the outer piece is not attached, it's just sitting on there. We were unable to find marine grade plywood here in Colorado so we went with 3/4" MDF and then used the truck bed coating on all surfaces before assembly. I know people will bash me for using MDF but we pulled the old box out that was in for 4 seasons and there were no signs of water damage at all and it wasn't coated with anything.
The next thing we are going to do is build a false front for it that will be wrapped in 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber which will match the faux carbon fiber dash that comes standard in the Epics.
He has (8) JL M770 TCX's across the swim platform and then (8) JL M770 TCS's inside the cabin and 4 PDX 4.100's to drive all of those. So with 17 speakers and 2,600 watts, it rocks!
