Try building your own..I thought it would be tough but its actually pretty fun! Just try it if not just get a 1.25 cubic ft per sub and pound away!

Build it yourself for $20.00 dollars.
Height X width X depth=
Then you take that number and divide by 1728=
And that is your cubic feet.It's pretty simple.
If you decide to build yourself,I suggest going sealed to make things less complicated for you.
I suggest 2.50 cubic feet per sub for your aplication.So 5.00cf total.
Here is a web site that will teach you everything you need to know. And do not buy a pre fab box,it's really not a good idea.Your bass will sound like dookie [Eek!]

If you have the space i would definetly suggest a ported box for that sub. The box will be pretty big but worth every cubic foot. At my shop i once put a 10inch comp in a ported box with a 125 watts pushing it in a suburban no one could beleive that just one 10in comp could play like that. If you don't believe me call the guys at kicker and find out more about the ported boxes for the comps.
