The published specs don’t add up:
- Fs, Vas and Sd don't match the moving mass of 368 g (they give 496 g) — one of the spec sheet values is probably wrong.
Recommended box
For a sedan, one sub, 3,000 W. It’s the same math as the designer’s step-by-step mode, where you can fit the box to your space, vehicle and amp and get plans, a cut sheet and DXF.
