The published specs don’t add up:

Fs, Vas and Sd don't match the moving mass of 408.83 g (they give 533 g) — one of the spec sheet values is probably wrong.

Recommended box

For a sedan, one sub, 1,000 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.

Bass character (Qtc)	Tight and punchy · 0.80

Net volume

Tuning (Fb)	35 Hz
Port	2 round ports Ø2 1/2″, 18 1/16″ long
Port velocity at 1,000 W	194 ft/s
F3 (−3 dB, no cabin gain)	29 Hz
Example box (outside)	24 3/8″ × 15 3/4″ × 8 7/16″

At 1,000 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 194 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 170 W. Full power needs a port of at least 23.6 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.

Deeper: 2.01 ft³ (57 L) tuned to 25 Hz, 31 1/2″ × 15 3/4″ × 13 13/16″ outside — a bigger box with flatter deep bass. Open in the calculator
