Fox Acoustics Vented Dual 10 Inch Subwoofer Enclosure for 2016+ Nissan Titan Extended Cab Review

If you’re like me, you like a lot bass in your car stereo system. This requires a subwoofer, and subs need an enclosure. And not all subwoofer enclosures are the same. One of the great manufacturers for subwoofer enclosures for a vehicle is Fox Acoustics. Up for review is their truck enclosure made specifically for the Nissan Titan Crew Cab or King Cab, years 2016 and up, going under the back seat. MSRP is a fair $349, and model number is NT-CC-210-V-16.

The Fox Acoustics Model NT-CC-210-V-16 came in a standard brown box for shipping. Opening the box revealed a well-protected enclosure, surrounded by shredded paperboard. Although looking at the enclosure, it didn’t look like it needed any protecting. Materials used in the construction was HDF wood, spray on bed-liner, glue and metal nails, and some metal and plastic in the terminal caps. Quality of materials used, as well as fit and finish, was excellent.

 

I love the design of the Fox Acoustics NT-CC-210-V-16 . To start, they used the plastic spray-on bedliner materials. This is sprayed onto the exterior of the enclosure. With carpeted enclosures, over time, the carpet can come unglued. So, the spray on is a better long-term solution. It provides more durability as well. Whether you tend to throw things into the footwells of the back seat of your truck, or your back seat tends to be occupied with kids who like to kick their feet up against the enclosure, the spray-on materials provides great protection. It also provides protection from the elements. This could be water from rain or snow, again from any kids or rear seat passengers who may get it on their shoes.

 

I also love the fit or the Fox Acoustics NT-CC-210-V-16. I have it under the back seat of my 2017 Nissan Titan King Cab. If you like a lot of bass, getting the most out of the space under the back seat is critical. The more space you can get, means a bigger enclosure. And the bigger the enclosure means the more options you have for a larger selection of subwoofers that would be ideal for that enclosure. It often also translates to more bass output when you can increase the subwoofer size.

 

This is one of the specialties of Fox acoustics. They have taken the under back seat measurements of many trucks, taking into account all the angles. They then take those measurements, and in the shop design an enclosure. This allows them to use every last square inch of our space for the enclosure. I can attest to this as we have had multiple other enclosures under the back seat with airspace ranging from 1.8 cubic feet to 2.0 cubic feet for both sealed and ported. This Fox Acoustics enclosure is the biggest with 2.2 cubic feet total airspace under the back seat. And they even manage to do it with having two separate chambers, and the port.

 

Fox Acoustics also manage to use high quality components in the construction. Given the angles, and the middle divider to create two separate chambers, there aren’t any long runs. So they are able to use 5/8 inch panels, which should be thick enough for no detectable flexing. This also helps to maximize the airspace using glue and nails. They also use a material for the panels that is more like HDF. Its density is between MDF and HDF. So while using 5/8 inch thick panels which is considered as the minimum for subwoofer enclosures, using the denser board panels are stronger, so it is also less prone to flex. The terminal cups are also of high quality. And while they seem to be sized for up to 12-gauge wire, I managed to get 10-gauge wire to work. And as is standard for most vented enclosures, the front edges of the port were rounded to silence any potential port noise. They are also rear firing, so if there does end up being some audible port noise, it’s harder to hear.

 

Installation proved to be very simple. To max out the performance of what’s possible without modifying the back seat, we used this enclosure and two Sundown Audio Classic 10’s. Fox Acoustics sells these same subs in a bass package with this enclosure, so the enclosure was pre-cut for them, and they fit like a glove. And the subs came with a rubber gasket already installed around the sub. So all I had to do was wire the sub to the terminal cup and pre-drill the holes, and then screw the subs in place. Now let’s see how it sounds!

 

I was impressed with the performance of the enclosure.  The vent worked very well moving a ton of air with no noise.  The terminal cups worked extremely well to get full power to the subs.  And the box was completely solid with no noticeable flexing, even at full power.  And oh yeah, the subs hit full power.  They hit so hard, doing so cleanly, and reached 139.4db doing so. 

 

I was extremely impressed with Fox Acoustics and their enclosure for my truck, the NT-CC-210-V-16. They managed to extract all the airspace possible for under the back seat of my 2017 Nissan Titan, and built a very high-quality enclosure for it. With the enclosure being vented and tuned to 36Hz….it pounded hard! If you have a truck and need an enclosure for under the backseat, they really shine. They even have universal enclosures as well. Based on its design, features, quality and performance, the Fox Acoustics NT-CC-210-V-16 has earned our Editor’s Choice Award.
