I am going to be building my box tomorrow. I have 4 10" Audiobahn and want to build a sealed box. I will be mounting the subs magnet inside the box. From how I figure it, this is what I need:

1.1 cubic feet/per sub

total of 4.4 cubic feet

magnet takes up approx. .3 cubic feet so I need to add on 1.2 cubic feet for a total of 5.6 cubic feet.

These are the measurements that I came up with, keep in mind I added 3/4" for wood thickness. Can one of the audio experts here verify that this all adds up and I did not mess up somewhere?

33"x26.25"x12.5"

First off we need the model# for the subs. But if Audiobahn suggests 1 cu/ft per sub then the displacement of the sub is already taken into account. Also are you going to have separate chambers for each sub?

I am not sure of the model number yet. I bought them from a buddy of mine. There will be no chambers unless it is better to do it that way.

Where my current bos is right now, it is almost maxed out for width unless I bring it out further towards the back of the trunk. Couldn't I put 2 in the front and 2 on the top or is that a bad idea?

I'm sure you need to have seperate cambers for each sub.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

You won't need seperate chambers unless you intend to run them wired up for a mono signal.

Here is a link for the specs for my subs. If someone can tell me by this what I need for air space and if the magnet is included in the calculations. http://www.audiobahninc.com/tech/2001.pdf

The displacement is included in Audiobahns volume calcs. I would suggest 1 cu/ft per sub and I would have a separate chamber for each sub. You can use the 12 volts volume calculator to aid you in designing your enclosure https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#rec
