Re: PUNCH HX2 BOX SIZES Recommended enclosure size off of RF's website says Recommended Minimum Volume (Cubic Feet) - .8, and Recommended Maximum Volume (Cubic Feet) - 4.0 per woofer, There is approximately 2.5-2.8 cubic feet in the storage well of an F-body. Make sure your box falls between these numbers (bigger is better),That it is well sealed, and try to avoid having paralell sides inside the box. This can create "standing waves" of sound in the box, which can introduce distortion. In case you don't know, to calculate the size of the box, measure the inside distances of length(L), width(W), and height(H) then: L x W x H divided by 1728= cubic feet. (Ex. 12 x 12 x 12=1728/1728=1 cubic foot.)
Also, you might want to put some fiberfill inside the box. This is the stuff pillows are stuffed with, and can be bought at any craft store. Stuff the box lightly, so it is not tightly packed. This will help eliminate, or reduce standing waves inside the box.
