Home audio box build help! (I know I know..)

[Xinspaly 10+ year member]

First i want to just say i know this is a car audio forum, but there shouldnt be a reason why all of your guys' knowledge cant help me.

Im going to be buying ten three inch speakers into three separate boxes.. one will be recieving 4 of these three inch speakers while the other two will be receiving only 3 of them.. It will be going to create a surround sound system.. Dimensions are really anything to work with, but im just looking for dimensions and how i should tune this box.. ill give the specifications of them shortly.. however, will this tuning of the box be based on how high i can tune the sub? or something i am unaware of? Its going to be cheap, but it will be my system.. or part at least..

Here are specs on the speakers.. any ideas of how big the box should be to hold 3 and a box to hold 4? and what should it be tuned to?

Power handling: 25 watts RMS/50 watts max *VCdia: 3/4" *Le: 0.26 mH *Impedance: 4 ohms *Re: 3.4 ohms *Frequency response: 110-13,000 Hz *Fs: 117 Hz *SPL: 85.5 dB 1W/1m *Vas: 0.04 cu. ft. *Qms: 2.95 *Qes: 0.70 *Qts: 0.57 *Xmax: 1.5 mm *Dimensions: Overall diameter 3-1/16" (3-5/8" diagonally), Cutout diameter 2-3/4", Depth 2".

That being said, will i want to tune the box that high? or will i want to throw them in a sealed, as well as the sub? I think my sub will be able to play that high.. ill go with a 10 inch or 8 inch.

I would put them in a sealed box. You may need a smaller woofer for each (l-r) channel to get you a little lower. Some true sub woofers

do not like to play up that high.

Those 3" India mids can play pretty well down low(don't know how clean, but they have a good deal of xmech). Check out the youtube vid of them playing and you'll see what I mean.

So sealed it is? Any idea of how much the internal volume should be? Something like this i am completely clueless.. im thinking maybe 1.25 cubic feet for the box with 4 and 1 cubic foot for the box with 3? or is that way to small?
