depends on sub? abotu 1/1.2 cubic foot i think my Matrix elite was...

...the sub manufacturer should say tbh.

best of using 0.7" MDF, MDF corse screws, dont over tighten, use a glue/sealent between the joint. Think thats abotu it.

this site is great for working out box size:

Just remember that if your sealing the box with silicone. DO NOT put the sub in the box untill 24 hours after sealing it. This is cause the gas given off by the silicone curing can damage the glue holdig your sub together!
