If it it is made from .75" MDF. the [B][I]minimum [/I][/B]volume recommended by Kicker is as follows: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Min Vented Box Vol (cu. ft)[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]3.0[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Max Vented Box Vol (cu. ft) 5.0 You're really at the bare minimum where a 10-15% deviation is considered acceptable though in this case definitely not preferable or acceptable to me unless the tuning goal is somewhere around 50-55hz. It will be boomy and have a definite peak well within the range it plays and will not play as low as it would in the correct enclosure. 15" subs need fairly large ported boxes to sound good, keep looking for something in the 4 to 5 cu ft realm that you can work with[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
