.6 tuned to 35hz is a good starting point

why I said a good starting point. should be fine if he feeds it 4-600 watts

well the thing is he is going to be underpowering it for a good while and will eventually work up to feeding it 500-600 watts hopefully.

how about 7.563ft at 35 Hz?

If ur gonna feed it 600 stick to around .6 to .7..if ur gona feed it 400 1 cube is good.....I had one over powered(600-800) in a cubic foot box and itdid not like it

so how about .75^3 and tuned to 35?

off 600 yes

but how would it sound while its underpowered. because we have no clue on how long it will take for him to get an amp to fully power it right.
