you have to know the specs of your sub. post the model numbers and what not and maybe the installers here can help you

it'll depend on the sub itself

grab winisd PRO and see if it has the specs, and design your box there.

aiight ill post the model numbers after i get it out of the box. it is not as simple as you guys think. its like submerged into the box, sorta looks liek a home stereo speaker. i have to cut the wood to get to it.

if its just for the sub itself, i`ll bet you wont need anymore than a cubic foot. sounds little i know...

you'd be fine with .5 or .6 if your going to have them in a sealed box. or go with about .9 approx for ported.
...don't expect that those things are going to pound or anything, specialy in a del sol, with the firewall between the trunk, and and the rest of the car.

surfertech - no i am not using home theatre subs. the box that it was in looks like a home theatre system but it is not.

12v - yeah i think im going to be making a sealed box. i am putting the subs behind my seat because of the firewall.

azn_sol - what kind of amp are you using? i figure that 2 12" wold be pretty loud.

pound decent, those things with the proper amp could make you deaf pretty easily, those are nice subs
