hmmm well with the dimensions given,


  • WIDTH= 56"



  • BOTTOM DEPTH= 17"



  • TOP DEPTH= 15"



  • HEIGHT=13 1/2"


and with the price, im assuming it to be 1/2" MDF

which comes out to be 5.97 cubes.

****(note idk if the calculator i used can be applicable to your application)

so for those subs, i suggest a nice 32hz tuning.

also for a SLOT port, i suggest a 3"x 12" port that would need to be ~12.5" long

for a round/aero port(6 inches in diameter) it would need to be ~9.2" long

hopes this helps!

Hey Thanks!

I'm looking at that box and no way is it 5.97 cuft, those dimensions are the total space the box consumes, not actual dimension of the enclosure. It's probably 1 - 1.3 cuft per side.

but i suggest putting the subs in first to see how it sounds sealed.

if ur not satisfied, or want to get louder... PORT IT UP;)!

you cant tell SHIT from that pic. for all we know it could be a shared chamber and that piece sticking back is part of the chamber spread across both chambers.

so OP, before you do any cutting, some pics or VIDEO would help to determine the size of the box

It's strange how they company that makes these doesn't ever mention the volume of the box. I even downloaded the catalogue and they don't list it there either. But, I'm still betting is closer to 1 cuft per side and from what i can find it's 5/8 mdf.
