Sub Box help please.

[Vangel]

Hi, i have ordered a 12" Audioque sub, the company says the box should be 2.2cubes and around 36Hz.

I was wondering if anyone knows the dimensions i should use(using .75" mdf board)for a ported box?

It's not WAAAAY off. Just a little bit. First thing you should do is measure how much room you have. Also the kind of car would help too.

it will be in the back of a 1993 old cutlass, i believe the trunk is about 17" high, and plenty of room width wise

I have compared dimesnions through both calculators and feel i have a good idea of what i need,

one more question though,

once you have the port in place do you include that space when calculating cubic feet recommended by the company, or just the open space without the port?

[KAPONE.SS]

The port isn't included in enclosure space you should also subtract sub displacment from enclosure space too.
