Recommended box

For a sedan, one sub, 3,500 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.

Port	slot 1 15/16 × 14 5/16″, 56 7/8″ long

Example box (outside)	31 1/2″ × 15 3/4″ × 11″

At 3,500 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 114 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 1,800 W. Full power needs a port of at least 39.2 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.

The volume and tuning are the recommendation, but the port doesn’t fit this example box. Size the box and port in the designer.
