4cuft.-32hz mine sounds nice and low 5 might be to big but you can always try it out and see good. How much power are you going to run to it.

I tried 32hz and 35hz IMHO the 35 was louder and got just as low, or even lower....

Thats what scott is suggesting, if I understood correctly. Im thinking around 600 - 800w, for now, untill I upgrade my stock elec. system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif.

most notes lower than 35hz are felt more than heard, 45-55hz notes sound really loud, but 30hz notes feel good. Mine is 2.7 each tuned to 28hz, 12"s, they get loud on the low end, but I would've tuned higher (32) if I had the chance, the higher bass notes dont feel as good as I would like them to.
