[Daniel]

are these supose to be spl or sq subs? and if the 12in. version of the shivas are put in a sealed box with 0.83 cuft. would it sound nice?

The shiva really needs a very minimum of 1.25 cubic feet each to achieve proper bass response, if you can get 1.5 each, awesome, but try to at least shoot for 1.25

I use 2 adire shiva's in my home theater. 1.5cft each. Wow, the sound is hard to top. I tried them in 1cft as jlaine said they didn't quite have the low end extension i was looking for. 1.25- 1.5 and you will be amazed

Well I put mine in a 2+ cube box and it screams. The best sub I've ever owned and I don't now if I'll get a different sub to replace it, maybe another one to complement it.
