Sealed box design for SQ

[97chameleonbird 10+ year member]

Does it matter what shape a sealed box is for SQ? For example, does a perfectly square or rectangle sound better than a shape with multiple shapes and depths. I want to build a real nice sound quality system with a 12" Fi Q. I don't need the box to be stealth or anything so whatever shape works best I could work with. On a side note, would it be better for a 10"? I listen to a lot of alternative, rock, hardcore music.

And, if anyone is bored and would like to build a box diagram for me I wouldn't mind that either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif.

just make sure the magnet has about an inch or so behind it on the sub....shape doesn't really matter as long as its sealed air tight

Didn't the new Q get rid of the pole vent?

shape matters for standing waves. parallel sides and perfect cubes should be avoided if you can.
