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.
Thanks

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.

Those are the RSD line look at the small gray model print to the left of each picture they arent the RSdC line

Bastards are false advertising

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
