#### 📦 Recommended Net Volume[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&veaction=edit&section=5 "Edit section: 📦 Recommended Net Volume") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section's source code: 📦 Recommended Net Volume")]

Rockford Fosgate recommends ~2.0 ft³ per sub (ported).

*   Target net volume: 4.0 ft³ total (after port + sub displacement)

(All dimensions are outside dimensions)

*   Width: 38.0″
*   Height: 16.0″
*   Depth: 18.0″

#### 📏 Internal Dimensions[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&veaction=edit&section=7 "Edit section: 📏 Internal Dimensions") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section's source code: 📏 Internal Dimensions")]

(After subtracting MDF thickness)

*   Internal Width: 36.5″
*   Internal Height: 14.5″
*   Internal Depth: 16.5″

Gross internal volume: ≈ 4.95 ft³

After subtracting:

*   Sub displacement (~0.14 ft³ each × 2 = 0.28)
*   Port displacement (~0.65 ft³)

➡ Final net volume ≈ 4.02 ft³ ✅

*   Internal length: 24.5″
*   Port folds once along the bottom of the enclosure

This port size keeps air velocity low and prevents chuffing.

#### ⚡ Wiring Recommendation[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&veaction=edit&section=14 "Edit section: ⚡ Wiring Recommendation") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section's source code: ⚡ Wiring Recommendation")]

Each P3D4-12 is dual 4-ohm.

Best option:

*   Wire each sub to 2 ohms
*   Then parallel both subs → 1 ohm final load
*   Perfect for most RF mono amps

#### 🎯 Expected Performance[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&veaction=edit&section=15 "Edit section: 🎯 Expected Performance") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/6948209e-caf4-8007-87de-a92ed3c2b8ba&action=edit&section=15 "Edit section's source code: 🎯 Expected Performance")]

*   Strong output from 28–40 Hz
*   Very musical bass
*   Clean daily-drivable response
*   Excellent cone control at low frequencies

If you want, I can:

*   Adjust the box to fit a specific vehicle
*   Design a kerf port instead of straight slot
*   Optimize for maximum SPL or SQL
*   Draw a dimensioned cut diagram
