actually i can just give the dimensions if that is easier, its 14" tall 32" wide and 16.5" deep. and the port is 2.5" wide and 28.25" long.

2.5ft3

2.5ft3

Yep, after sub and port displacement it's right around there, and with a tuning close to 31hz.

Did you fail math in high school or what? Length x Width x Height = Volume

This does not = ft3 though. You have to divide by 1728 then it is cubic feet. Also be sure that if you are measuring on the outside of the wood to take off the thickness of the wood(if it is 3/4" then take off 1.5" for each).

It does if your measurements are in feet dumbass. If you do the multiplications in inches then yes, you need to divide by 1728 because that is 12*12*12, thus converting you from cubic inches to cubic feet.

How is anyone getting 2.53 cubic feet? Or do you mean 2.53 cubic feet after accounting for the volume of the sub?

1) Fill box with water.

2) Drain water into containers.

3) Weigh the water.

4) Convert weight of water to equal amount of gallons.

5) Find the volume of a gallon of water.

6) Multiply the volume of a gallon of water by the amount of water you have.

7) Go shoot yourself because you are an idiot.

Is it 3/4 inch thick wood? cause that could change everything

the only reason i failed is because i was doing your mom rather than go to class //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bigwave.gif.16324171cad2db62cf4f16568b038478.gif

Yeah, after sub displacement it's about 2.5-2.55ft^3 depending on the sub. I believe I got something like 2.68ft^3 before sub displacement.
