Found my first sub

[mxdano]

I just dug out the first real sub I purchased. Its a round Kicker solobaric S-10. It's in great shape for its age (early 90's) and I would like to throw it in the trunk of my wifes Camaro on a 500 rms RF. I remember I had it in a tiny sealed box behind the seat of a pickup and it was pretty amazballs, but I no loner have the box. I am going to build a new sealed enclosure for it. it has a sticker on the basket that says "use only in enclosure with sealed rear chamber, max volume .66 CF). My question- is that internal volume before woofer displacement? Anyone have experience with these oldschool subs that can recommend an ideal box size? Thanks....

Nice. I still have a kicker impulse NIB from the 90's. Love the older kicker solos

The recommended box size is a net volume, so after all displacements. Anywhere from 0.5 - 0.6 cubes should be ok. You could go a little undersized with like a 0.45 cube box and then polyfill if needed
