Box size for 15" HDC3?

[dsturbd 10+ year member]

Alright, my box is almost done for both my subs, but I wanna do something today, and that is build my own box with no ones help, so I wanna build a small sealed enclosure for one of my 15" hdc3 and have fun with it until my main box gets built, can anyone suggest a box size? Was trying to go as small as possible.

Da box king, I said this is a temp box, as in only a few days until my main box is complete, me and my dad are working on it, but today is nice and I want to build something on my own, get bass in my car today!

My main will be 9 cu ft 38 hz.

You can't wait a day or two?

Seems like a waste of time, effort and money IMO. If it's nice, why not finish the box you and your dad are working on?

throw em in a cardboard box and free air them as they'll break in quicker...

So 2.5 sounds good hopefully?

No, they won't sound good. It's been said twice already that those subs are not recommended to go in a sealed box. Making a box out of spec for your sub(s) when you've got a tuned box on the way is not only a waste of time, effort, and materials, but also you never know, could risk messing up the sub. Since that sub was designed to reach is max excursion in a ported box, it might not get enough cooling in a sealed, smaller box at the same given power. Why bother, just wait...
