On the eclipse web it isn't stated. But if you send an email to there tech support they will send you there recommended specs.

I'd probably say you'd be safe with 3 cuft. But then again i'm no expect on 15's. Maybe bberman1 might be able to help out he seems to be the shall i say guru on eclipse subs around here.

The VAS is 6.1 cuft. The only thing I can find in reference to box size off hand is that they are designed for small sealed enclosures. For a 15" DVC that generally translates to a 1.5cuft min. box. But I would still try to find someone who's worked with them before.

Eclipse recommendations: Sealed SPL .65cu/ft , SQ 1.65cu/ft Ported 2.0cu/ft with a 5 inch round port 13 inches long. Now I would suggest that you take the specs above and build some test enclosures with different volumes (.65-1.65) and see which one sounds best to you.

so if i want some major bass go with the .65 or would the 2.0 with the port put out a TON more bass of just some?

Personally I would go for about 1 cu/ft sealed. I have never put Aluminum in a ported to know how it will sound but I’m sure it will be louder than if it was in a sealed enclosure. But if your going to glass it up I would suggest buying a piece or two of MDF and building some test enclosures and see what volume and box type you like the best. Also if you’re looking for SPL I would take a look at the Titanium’s. They put out huge amounts of bass and still sound good for putting out such an extreme amount of bass.

yea i was gonna get a titanium but i dont want to stess my cars electrical system. Thats why im only gonna run an amp thats 500 watts and probly not any over. (unless i run an amp to components later) But in a car as big as a 4runner in the inside will one 15 alum in a sealed box put out a good amount of bass? compared to maby 2 Type R's or somthing of the sort?
thanks
