And a google search yields:  https://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/1861

Good luck getting all the info you need to build a box for this brand name rip-off POS.  This seems to be available from all the scrub on-line sources [google search].  The proud owner of these subwoofers should be buying the box off the shelf.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Hope this helps, I was just kidding I don't put much faith in their audio equipment. I have used the PD-175 two way car alarms before and was impressed..

I just got off the phone with the tech guy from Phoenix Digital and he was a complete idiot, it took him like ten minutes to find me the recommended ft3 for each sub as long as it is the PD-131 it needs 1.25 ft3 per sub.  post back after you hook these up I am interested how they sound because their tech guy could not ever sell me any of thier products that is for sure.

well, i got the box finished, hooked up the mtx amp he had, and it don't sound half bad.  it is not the best i have heard, by far, but it is decent. for the money he has in the amp and 2 subs he is very satisfied.

Is it just me or is the cheaper brands getting better or am I finally getting hard of hearing like everyone said I would!!!!!    I heard some flea market 12" DC's that were $80 a piece and the beat like the were $250 a sub..On a cheap amp at that!!!!

i think they are getting a little bit better. i got a friend with 4 pyramid super blue 12's and a hifonics 600 watt amp, and it hits real hard. plus, i think the bigger companies are making their stuff cheaper, so it isn't a big difference anymore.

I tell people all the time that they would not beleve how good some of the cheaper subs and amps sound. no they don't hold a candle to jbl or jl or any of the high end boys, but for the money you can get a hard hitting set up. I sold a kid 2 pyramid 18's and their class D 1000w amp and it hit real hard. Didn't sound bad at all. now a jl or jbl would have been better, but for under $500 bucks for the whole set up he was very happy. a lot of my customers can not afford the high dollar stuff, and they don't want to wait 6 months to save enough for 1 sub that cost 300 bucks. I sell more low end stuff then high end, and make pretty good money at it too.
