I didnt want to build a Custom box because i dont have the right tools, and im not the best at that but when i got my sub installed at a local car audio shop, they gave me just a standard truck sub box.

dimensions are like (just estimate)

BD - 7"

TD - like 3-5"

Width - 15-16"

Height: 14-15"

My Subwoofer is a

Kicker CVT12 @ 2ohm

12" 2 OHM VOICE COIL SUBWOOFER

* 400 Watts RMS

800 Watts max

Sensitivity 87.1 db

Freq. response 25 - 500 hz

Mounting depth 4 - 5/16"

Mounting diameter 10-15/16

Perimiter venting

Spring loaded terminals

Sealed enclosure volume min.- 1-4.6 cubic foot Max volume 4.6 cubic foot

Vented enclosure vol. 1.75 - 2.25 cubic feet

So yeh, is this sized box a good enclosure for my subwoofer?

And also, why does the Size of the box matter, why do you need airspace and stuff?..

Thanks for the answers.

The airspace matters because you need a certain amount for the driver to perform well. Also you didnt post the height so we can't know for sure how much space the box has.
