Post by Rob221 »

Hello first time posting,and new to car audio.I just bought 2 rsdc 102's.Was wounderning i saw this sub box on ebay.Here is the spec's on it.
Mounting depth - 7.62 in. (based on 6" magnet)
Mounting diameter - 9.125 in.
Total volume - .78 cu. ft.
Volume per chamber - .78 cu. ft.
Chambers - 1 (mono)
Would this box work for these sub's.Its for a 350z.

it should be prefect. maybe add a bit of foam to each chamber to reduce the size a bit if they sound boomy.

oh, so the total box airspace is .78?

then it should be a little on the small side, but still decent.

Yeah that's pretty small for two subs! I would stuff the box with 1 lb of polyfill... that makes the box seem 20% bigger, which is ~0.93cuft, and closer to optimal.

Well they came in today definitely the RSDC'S.I guess a better question would be what would be the optimum volume per chamber for these subs.I will be putting them in a 350z.Haven't found a box for them yet,still looking.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Robert
