looks like the mounting depth of the 10" sub is 8" and the 12" sub is 9.5"

The zenclosure single and dual 10" mounting depth is 8" based on a 6.125" diameter magnet up to a depth of 9" of depth with a 5" diameter magnet

The single 12" mounting depth is 10" based on a 7" diameter magnet

and the upfire box in single or dual config for 8" & 10" subs has 8" of depth and 7" of depth for a 12" sub all based on a 6" diameter magnet


so you need to get some exact mesaurements on them subs, i was just a little board so i pulled the info from the sites for a rough estimate



also thats quite the boomin sub there it seems, you consider anything else? something a little smaller and less powerful. Ive had 2-12" alpine type S's in a sealed, the a ported and 2-12" type R's in a ported box before in other cars and they were awesome. I have Sundown Audio SA-10's in my Z now and they're perfect in my opinion.

Thanks for the help man
I just wanted to get one 10 inch sub and I thought a w7 would be worth the bump for its size =p I also loved the way the z enclosure box looks and where it sits... I really appreciate the suggestions you gave + rep for you

You can space out your 10w7 and fit it in the enclosure if you had to. I am sure if you called them they can give you the answer or accomodate for that woofer. Keep in mind 10w7 will take a smaller subwoofer opening then the average. so you don't wantt o order just a regular box for a 10".. W7 also will need a thicker baffle to mount on.

I have a 10w7 in a zenclosures box. i ordered a 12" box cut to fit a 10" sub, it fits fine. I wouldnt recommend putting a w7 in that box though. I took mine out of a properly sized ported box to put it in the zenclosures and it sounds awful. The 10w7 really needs a huge ported box to sound right.

thank you.

this is what ive been looking for.

I have two jl 10w7s sitting in my room. I'll look for a smaller sub... most likely a nice little jl or spend the doll hairs and get a sick focal sub.
