Building an enclosure for JL 18W3

[humandrummachin]

Hi this is my first post here, and i'm going to be building an enclosure for my 18w3 soon.

I'm looking for advice on the best specs i should build it to. So far, i'm planning on building it around 5 ft^3 and tuning it to around 25-32hz. I'm just about sure this would work just fine, but im looking for an enclosure that allows the sub to perform its best and get as loud as possible. Thanks for any advice.

I would keep the tuning a little higher around 32-35ish. I tried tunning a few of the W3s lower and i was very unhappy with their performance.

Alright any suggestions on the volume?

They were not mine, but yes. I have also build enclosurs for the 10s and 12s as well.
