I'm not sure what you're question is when it gives you the dimensions of the box they recommend for that sub. If you follow that box you'll get a ported box that is tuned to 35hz. Cut sheet:

Top: 362mm x 356mm

bottom: 362mm x 356mm

Sides: 552.5mm x 317.5mm

Front/back: 362mm x 552.5mm

It calls for a labyrinth port and since it calls for a 546mm long port you account for the width of the wood and cut a piece that fits into the box in line the the opening. It looks like it's designed to go along the back of the box. That amp is severely under-powered which is not good for your sub.. My rule of thumb is to give your sub more power than it needs and turn the gain down.

I was responding to his original specs. Stang didn't offer any suggestions other than hmu so not much to listen to. Very basic setup that doesn't have an amp that will properly push the sub to begin with. There's nothing wrong with the given box design, but there are obviously much better setups

yeah what sub amp u have or if u want us to suggest u need to give us price range like $300 sub and amp or whatever.. look at car audio bargain.com look at b stock subs they are great but only have 30 day warranty if u wanta save $ great site.. have to know sub or amp before we can suggest the other or box..
