enclosure size

84RegalRider · 10-18-2007, 01:40 PM

well i got dual-brand 12 inch subs in a bandpass box.
want to make a sealed box for them so i can fit them where i want them.
but i cant find the recommended enclosure size for the subs.

so question is, is there anyway i can measure the sealed part of the bandpass box and convert that to regular sealed box(tho doubt it works like that) or would i be better just making a box and seeing if i like the sound??

seen a site that said like 2 ft^3 to 3 ft^3 is avg for a 12inch sub, should i just try that or do you have a better recommendation?

thanks

Have you tried their website:

dualav.com?
http://www.dualav.com/carsubs/index.html

here's the user manual for the DS12 (their basic sub):

http://www.dualav.com/i/product/manual/dssubs.pdf
page 8 of 12:
Good Bass = .75 cu ft
Better Bass = 1.0 cu ft
Best Bass = 1.25 cu ft

I'd hate to be mean about it, but it took me a whole 14 seconds to find this info. You've got over 350 posts here, so I'm sure you've seen people get flamed for not searching...
