Default 10" Orion Cobalt - box size?

I just bid on one of these. I figure for $40 I might as well try it. I had an old Cobalt sub back in 95. It's a 400 watt peak/200 watt rms and dual voice coil.

Anyone know what size box I'll need for this?

I don't know. Which would you reccomend? I'd like the smallest box possible.

This box is only .65 cubic feet. I know it's probably too small for optimum performance but would it sound alright? It's going in a 91 Civic hatchback.

do a ported box, sounds much deeper and better, but takes up A LOT of space. I'm not too sure what size you need, but the information should come with the sub.

if it helps, my 10" Inifinity 1000w speaker recomended i used a 2 cubic foot box.

Do any of you know where to buy good boxes for cheap? Doesn't need to be carpeted or anything.
