Right, I'm building a stealth box for the boot of my pug and i need to get the box as shallow as possible. Now the woofers i'm looking have a recommended size of 0.15 ~ 0.5 cubic feet. It's an 8" woofer with a mounting depth of 2.5" But i need to find out what size it'd have to be to keep the depth as small as possible.

Thanks
Dean.

Afternoon,

You'll be able to get a small box made, but don't go to close to the back of the sub. I agree at minimum an inch, but possibly more. Don't worry about not making it square, not that you could in this situation.

If you make it (internal sizez) 12" x 12" x 3.5" you'll get 0.29 cu ft.
If you go to : 12 x 12 x 4.5 = 0.375
and 13 x 13 x 4.5 = 0.44

To work it out use your measurements in inches multiplyed by eachother then divide by 1728, this will give you your volume in cu ft.
i.e. Length x Width x Heigth / 1728
