Might wanna go with 1.75" mininum baffle. That's a damn big sub for a 1" baffle..otherwise be prepared for some serious flexing.

on the box we built for one it was triple layer front and double layer sides. and that sub is insane.

More is better.

Throw in one of those metal rods for bracing and you've got yourself one solid enclosure.

Well..with as many layers as you had..you don't really NEED the rods...every little bit helps though..and yea..you wont see many rods used in pretty installs lol.

FYI...

Speaking from experience.... if you are going to reverse mount a sub, you want a sub that is mechanically quiet & a multispoke basket design.

I know you are not looking @ 12" but here is a sub that I think would fit your needs, sound better & has pleanty of XMAX. And the all important copper faraday shorting rings to ensure low distortion (I think it important to make clear that no car brand sub makes this claim yet...)

Yu can see pics, Impedance curve, BL graph, Suspension Stiffness, and a wirefram rendering of the motor structure.

Thats a nice looking sub, but I still gotta go with the X, I didn't know about all that stuff if you wanted to reverse mount a sub. Every sub I have done it to, sounded fine.

So how does a 2" front baffle, and 1" side's?
