i dont like to set my equipment selection based on a precise money limit.

It may go over or under... dont know til you get goin with the build.

The best thing to do is the following-

Measure how much room you could possibly use for the subs.

I dont care if u get 10,000 cuft... Just because you may think u have too large a room to fill... think again...

Base your sub stage plan according to the room available. Once we have that... everything else is mostly downhill.

i think we have like 8.5cf net to work with he has no perfered equipment and the $2500.00 is his limit he just got married so thats it

Ehhhhhh Can't really pound the ground with 8^3......

just a FYI... how would u know the NET volume if you do not know the port displacement or the sub displacement yet?

What is the MAXIMUM external volume i can use. I will use that to design an enclosure.

And i also need the ACTUAL dimensions so i know how the subs and port will sit.

I design boxes in CAD software so precision specs are necessary.
