Don't use RE box calculator. It suxx. Get Torres Tuning calculator instead. Box Tuning Calculator

This will help you graph what your curve can look like before cabin gain. I would aim for 2.0-2.5 cubes per sub after sub and port displacement tuned to 32hz or 33 hz is fine for daily

2.8 cubes for the cone area of a pair of round 15's? Good luck, OP. IMO that's not an adequate box for one of those woofers.

Their 12's and their squares. Unless your talking about something else.

15" round sub = appx 150 square inches.... 12" square sub = 144 square inches.

I just modeled the 12" L7 and they want 4-5 cube EACH to sound decent. I can't imagine L5 works well in a quarter of that space.

Oh ok you lost me there for a second. So 2 cubes for each sub would be more accurate correct?

4 per sub more likely, but suit yourself. I've only built for 2001 Camry but I can tell you that trunk barely had room to do one 15" round sub properly.
