box volume for mm 8''

ilikesound

what should the volume be for a momo 8''? i am using a sealed box and am not sure if it should be bigger or not..if it is, ill just end up using some polyfill or whatnot. thanks in advance!

.33 cubic feet total interior volume.

If I were to fit a momo 8inch into a .5 cubic foot box, would this lower the resonant frequency of the sub/box package? would the sub still be able to deliver the same spl compared to being fitted on a .33 cu. inch box?

im assuming that a larger box would yeild undesirable results, the mm series is meant to be used in a small as possible box.

Thanks, I went for the .35 cu.ft. box.:)

Actually a .5 might sound a little better from a strict SQ standpoint. It may have a flatter response curve.

But the .35 would be just fine as well. At most itll have a small response hump around 40 Hz maybe but this is not a bad thing for casual listening. Itll make the bass seem to have more energy.
