The sub box has to be made to suit the sub different subs have different parameters and need different size boxes, and some want ported or sealed here is a ported box for a kicker l5

As you can see there is a lot of difference in size, and here is a sealed box for a 12" JBL

yea, i understand the character of subs and box size needs, didnt think there would have been enough space in there for a 15" sub at all, what size is the box in cubic litres? i was thinking that probably a 10" powerful driver would have been the best size to go...

The 2 boxes are for 10" kicker L5 square subs, the sealed box is 1cuft and the ported is 1.25cuft and the partly external port tuned to 38hz, I did have a 15" type R Alpine in a 1.5 cuft sealed box but this meant the seat had to be 2 clicks forward.
