[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8769525, member: 591582"] They recommend 1.5 cubes. They recommend 1 cube ported net for the 10. You may be able to go a little over on airspace. I absolutely would tune this woofer anywhere between the high 20's to the mid 30's, depends on the sound you want. 40 hz is really high. I can design you a box for this sub, if you want. I've done at least 3 Dayton designs sort of recently, 2 ported and 1 4th order bandpass. These subs are somewhat more HT oriented, but would work well for audio. The type of box you want to put them in would depend on how you want it to sound with your music and what kind of vehicle it's in. If you do a box too big, it'll limit the bandwidth and the box will be super peaky and boomy, possibly. 1.5 cubes is about as small as it gets for 12" ported box sizes. I'm not sure I'd do too much bigger over 1.5 cubes; I'd have to get fairly into designing it to see what box size might be best. This woofer has a decently low Fs, a decently high Vas, and sort of middle ground Cms and Qms (and Q values overall), pretty decent xmax for an 800w RMS rated woofer. You might be able to run it over 1.5 cubes if you want to. You just really gotta figure out how you want it to sound, first. [/QUOTE]
