Length (times) Width (times) heigth (divided by) 1728 will give you your cubic feet. I wrote out times and divided by just so no confusion would be involved..you can do a little guessing and checking to figure the dimensions...you also have to factor in speaker and port displacement.

the box i have right now is a slot port... well, was... till i knocked out 2 walls, and closed the slot... i could fix it back to what it was? ... or make it a little smaller, or bigger... it is like 1.4 cubic feet i think... for each chamber...
you would be better off disassembling the box and finding some use for the pieces you managed to safely scavange.
i dont know how you knocked those boards out, or if you saw'd through them. but you just affected the structural integrity of that box by doing so.
if you put it back in, there is 1 garuntee it will not be 100% percent. but i cant tell you if its an acceptable risk or not. in your case i dont know simply because the box was designed (to my assumption) for those sonys. and using it for 2 shivas will not give you a better result than a sealed enclosure to the size you could attain as you tried to do. i dont know the Cuft that is needed for the subs in a ported enclosure, but i know it wont be exactly or possibly close to what the sonys need.
thats all for now, i'll come back when my fingers have lost their numb feeling.

klapping-Qwit talking about that box.  The subject is dead.  Here are two facts you should know:

1.  12 inches X 12 X 12 = 1728 cubic inches.  That's three dimensions:  width, length and height.  So if a box were 12 inches on each dimension it would be a 1728 cubic inch box.

2.  1728 cubic inches equals 1 cubic foot.  Cubic inches can be changed to cubic feet by dividing by 1728.  Cubic feet can be changed to cubic inches by multiplying by 1728.

So, if you want to figure out dimensions for a 1.2 cubic foot box, you would first change the box to cubic inches.  (1.2 X 1728 = 2074 in^3)

Now, start working that calculator.  Keep trying different combinations of the three dimensions until you hit 2074.  See if it fits in the car.  If it does, you've got it.

aside:  damn, /r7.  You can write a complete thesis in the time it takes me to write 4 lines!  Insane typist.

They come in sheets that are 4 feet by 8 feet. And you can make that box by using one sheet. Just buy 1 sheet of wood and draw out ALL PIECES before you start cutting. Or if you want you can even pay home depot to cut the pieces out for you. Then all you need to do is glue it together, nail or screw the edges and cut out the holes. If you can handle that then you are done.

3.17 is what that is, if those numbers are internal measurements (you should always use internal).  Double-check your math is the rule.  Hell, I normally spend a week double-checking.  Then I let it sit and double check again for good measure.

LOL I didnt even check the numbers, If those were outside dimensions and those were external measurments of the box and you were using 3/4 inch wood and there was a divider, I figure it to be approx 1.35. Take 3 inchs off the long way and make it 25 inchs long and I think that gives you 1.21 cubic feet per side.
