[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8717013, member: 614752"] That's just a hair over 2 cubic feet in American-speak. Which is about adequate for a good 10" sub. Most high output 15" woofers will want closer to 5 cubic feet. This is net volume so you will need to also account for displacement of the wood you use to build the box (including bracing as needed), and displacement of the port which will also likely want to be significantly larger than most manufacturers recommend to function efficiently Lesson 1 about subwoofer purchasing is that almost every company lies about how much space you'll need for a box. Space makes bass. See also "Hoffman's Iron Law". Now, get back to the drawing board and figure out precisely how much space you want to sacrifice for this and we can go from there. [/QUOTE]
