    .88 cu. ft. is the recommended internal volume (not including the driver/magnet).

    Take that into consideration. Adding polyfill will help slow down soundwaves and help make the sub sound as if it were in a slightly bigger box.

    I've heard MM's and even in a sealed enclosure, you won't be giving up too much SPL. I prefer SQ over SPL (not the only one around here ;))

    With that, it shouldn't be hard figuring out box dimensions. All depends how custom you wish to make it.

    if i did go with .88,how much polyfill should i use?half a pound?one pound?how much will it take to allow for woofer/magnet and divider volume?polk shows dual cabinet dimensions for everything but sealed.as far as coming up with measurements.is taking away an inch from width and adding it to depth going to give me the same internal volume?help!

    Kim, thanks for your help.The only question I still have is about moving measurements around.I have limited height and width but depth is not a problem.If I,m short an inch on height and add it on to the depth, does my internal volume end up the same? thank you for your help!

    I want to say that I'm sorry for being such a bother but either I'm not asking the right questions or I'm not understanding all of your answers.Let me try to make this easier for both of us.After reading my first post and seeing what kind of sound I'm after I would like you to suggest a cabinet size; .88,.96 or whatever you reccomend.The maximum amount of space I have to work with is 32w x 16h x 14d.I will use .75mdf and I will install a center divider.Would you please give me exact measurements and tell me what the internal volume will be.Again, thank you very much for all of your help!

    Kim,you hi the nail on the head.You gave me exactly what I was looking for.A picture is worth a thousand words.That means a picture with exact dimensions and specs,well.......The amp I have is a rockford fosgate power t5002.I will run it mono at 2 ohms.I've been a polk fan since about 1978 and all your help is just another reason I've been one for so long.Thank you!
