Ok, I got a 12" Vega series sub from Cerwin Vega
The box that I have built is a rectengular box
with 1 4" circular port that is curved inside the box. It measures 15.5in
box dimensions
Height 14.36in
Width 31.5in
depth 14.25in
Now according to my calculations the box is 2.7ft3
Is that too big for a 12" vega? Does anybody know a better box? How about Future Shop ported boxes are they any good???
ANy help/ advice is greatly appreciated.

Are those measurements internal or external? You need the internal to figure proper airspace of the box. As far as airspace requirements,go to the website and you'll find them there. Hope this helps,

You have a box that's about 3 ft3. That's HUGE ! for a single 12" sub. Go onto their website or look in the manufacturer specs sheet for the recommended box volume for a ported enclosure and it will tell you the proper volume for a ported enclosure.
