Hello all I am going to attempt to make my own enclosure for 2 10" sony xplod. They that the VAS is 1.85 cubic feet and that but it also has the enclosure volume at .93. Which one am I using? I am thinking the VAS but not sure. remember I am new at this.

So here is the box I have planned. I am looking at the wedge style 2 that is on this site and my measurements look like the W 24" x h1 8.5" x h2 6" x d 6" and I will be FG the top of it. So am I on the right track here? How do I know how much VAS I need for both subs do just add them up? BTW it will be a sealed enclosure.

Thank in advance for any help on this.

Isn't VAS the airspace equivalence of the stiffness of the suspension? Or something...

vas is not a direct indication of what size enclosure you need, it's just one of several parameters required to calculate the ideal enclosure size.

Post all the t/s numbers you can find for your subs and maybe someone can model up an enclosure for you.

I take it you're planning to use a sealed box, not ported?
