Looks like someone's gonna have some pretty good quality sound.. for box's you can download programs where you actually put in the stats of your subs, if you want it ported or sealed, or bandpass, and all sorts of cool stuff.. http://www.linearteam.dk/default.aspx?download=winisd

That program lets you choose the subwoofer you already have, or put in your own stats and it tells you the best way to build a box.

If you want an information database type thing, go here..

If it were me I wouldn't go through that site, seems too expensive. Go to your local car audio store, if you have a Car Toys or something like that.. just look in the yellow pages. You could then choose from different styles too.

Actually.. it's not that hard, as long as you have the tools and take the time and not just slap something together. Then friends are like hey that's a sweet box you have... then you can say you made it yourself. Something cool to do if you do decide to make your own box, is Rhino-lining it.

The volume of the box (Vbox) is specified as 1 cubic foot. That's all you need to worry about. If they (Infinity) wanted more room allocated for the displacement of the driver, they would have specified that in the Vbox value.

You don't need to calculate in the displacement. I never have for the boxes I built people. Go with 1 ft3 for each sub. Remember also that the space doesn't have to be exact. While I wouldn't go smaller than 1 FT3 each, you could go higher (1.2 or 1.3 FT3) if you're purchasing a pre-built box and they don't have one that offers 1.0 FT3 exactly.

Follow the instructions in the manual for required airspace for a sealed enclosure, measure the area that you intend to put te enclosure in, then cut the individual pieces to suit. Measure twice, cut once. Too much airspace is also a no-no. Use silicone on all joints. Allow the silicone to dry before installing the subs, the curing process of silicone can deteriorate a sub. 3/4" MDF board is the best material to use in my opinion. Others may vary. 1-1/2 wood screws (countersunk). Take your time and don't rush- especially if this is your first build. It's a lot easier than it may seem. I'll provide any help that I can. Provided your project is not already complete. I am a little late posting.
