Will my sub work in this box?

[ClownGuy]

I have an American bass Elite 1544 15" sub. At there website it says in the details section - Ported Box (Ft3) - 2.5, although I think this is for their 12 inch sub because the cutout size for the speaker says Cutout Size (In) - 10.94 which cant be right for a 15". In the specifications section it says - PORTED BOX (FT3) 3.25.

 

My question is will this 15" sub work well in a 2.6 cu ft internal air space.

 

The box im using has 2.6 cu ft internal airspace -It is a Rockville RSV15 Single 15" box.

Enclosure Measurements:

• Type of Enclosure: Ported/Vented
• Enclosure Sub Size: Single 15"
• Dimensions in Inches: 21" x 18" x 16.25"
• Top and Bottom Depth: 16.25"
• Mounting Depth: up to 15" (enough depth for any shallow sub on the market)
• Gross Volume Per Sub (Measurement for the outer dimensions of the box): 3.5 Cubic Feet
• Net Volume Per Sub (Measurement for the outer dimensions of the box less the thickness of the wood): 2.6 Cubic Feet

 

The box is ported and tuned to 32hz, and i'm not sure of the port dimensions though.

You can't get out all the output this sub can offer in a 2.5-2.6 internal volume box, 3.25 cf net internal should be used.

Ok thank you I will have to buy a new box 3.25 cf.

Or build your own, bear in mind that depending on your vehicle a box may not fit or be impossible to get inside.
