I'm looking to build a sealed enclosure for a JL 8w3v25 - it gives the volume range from .3 to .5 cubic feet. What volume would give the best sound quality and still let it hit the lower frequencies? Thanks!

frankly I would build a vented box tuned to about 32-35 hz....but I vent everything, most boxes I build that are vented that are in a trunk location are perfectly clean enough for day to day listening

Use .375 as detailed in the manual.
