.5 cu ft. + displacement of the driver of .09 cu ft = .59 cu ft. Just because this woofer is able to run in such a small box does not mean you must do it. In practical experience (4 years of selling these subs) the best box is 1.1 cu ft. sealed. Make the box out of a minimum of 3/4" mdf (1" is better). The baffle board (where the speaker mounts to) need to be a minimum of 1", otherwise the sub will rip out of the box. Do not make the box perfectly square or rectangular if you can help it (causes standing waves). Predrill and screw the box together with the help of a truckload of woodglue, silicone all inside joints and speaker wire entry points, paint (yes paint) the inside of the box with at least two coats of whatever spray bomb you have (mdf is extremely porous, paint seals the box). The stronger you can build this box, the better it will sound. Finally if you have access to a material called bassline, use it, otherwise lightly stuff the box with dacron.
