thats like 2.3 cubes per sub i think thats kinda big for 10's can anyone back me up on this?

heres what i think

10's .9 - 1.5cubes
12's 1 - 2.5 cubes
15's 3 - 5cubes
18's 6 - 9 cubes

some people go bigger some go smaller but to me i think almost 2 1/2 cubes per 10 is too much.

5 cubes sounds good id shoot for around 70-80sqin of port tuned to 32hz should get down pretty good. only thing is an box that small with that much port would mean an long@ss port which would eat up space so in reality ud have to build the box much bigger than 5 cubes external. like christian box for example. its 12+ cubes on the oustide and more like 8ish on the inside thats because of port sub and bracing. hit me up later tonight i can help ya come up with something just give me all the info i need like how much space u have to work with etc.
