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.

At 3,500 W this example’s port will be noisy: air speed 95 ft/s, while the limit is 82 ft/s. It stays quiet up to about 2,600 W. Full power needs a port of at least 48.1 in², which means a bigger box than this example — size it in the designer.
