haha... good old radio shack optimus subs.

They're alright. My friend had a pair of Optimus 12s and they surprised me for how crappy they were. As far as box specs, I couldn't say. It'd be a shot in the dark.

yea...no specs, so i can't do much for ya:crap:

on the other hand, they are shaq's so you might want to go get a little bit of an upgrade like "lightening audio":wow: or something

not necessarily. i'd probably do about .75cf sealed or 1.25 ported. Kinda a generic figure, but it'd work. may not be optimum, but its not like you're going to get much outta it anyways lol.

in general for you, larger = lower response, smaller = tighter....I like it tight, really really tight

and for stereo's i like lower response

the box i have no is...

width = 13 in.

depth = 9 in at bottom/ 8 in at top

hight = 12 in.

can anyone tell me how to figure the cubic feet?

or tell me how much cf it is..

use internal dimensions, and multiply, then subtract the subwoofer's displacement
