[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8234655, member: 655960"] You'd be fine with a 2.5 cube box for that sub but not tuned so high. If you like lows, tune the box at 30Hz and you'll be happy. And it doesn't matter what the max recommended box size for the sub is... because it's a recommendation, not a limit. Manufacturers recommend box volumes based on a variety of criteria, one of which is the best (safest) power handling for the sub. When you go larger you just have to be aware that the sub won't handle as much power as it will in a small box. That said, it isn't like the sub will be in grave danger. They can normally handle more than rated in an average enclosure and you're not planning to run this sub with more that rated power so you're good. Just be sure the gain is set properly. [/QUOTE]
