Default How do i find a box?

I am looking for a ported box for my new sub but i am having a really hard time finding one. I need 1.8 cft at 32Hz. I found a few 1.8 cft ported boxes on ebay but there is no say about Hz?

Here is one of them:

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me find a proper box.

Are you looking for one/two subs. I say you should just make one. Easier than you think. But if you don't feel comfortable doing that, I'm sure someone in your area would be able to do it. Those are pretty specific numbers and I don't know if there are going to be any mass produced boxes with them. Good luck.

Depending on the box construction it might be worth it. When you add a port and your speaker you reduce volume (Space). So if your box has a volume of 1.8 CF unloaded then it will have less with the speaker and port installed. Refer to you speaker paperwork to see if this will matter. The speaker paper work will also list port diameter and length to tune a 1.8 cf box to 34 hz.

That said, I still think your better off building a box, it will cost more, but you will have a better box. 94
