Really? Where did you get the box from? do you have a link?

Thanks,

I made it. If you look in the manual, it will tell you the ideal cubic feet for a ported box. i dont recall what that was(I wanna say 1.9 cu/ft but not certain). then you look up a box calculator, and it will give you the exact dimensions you need to achieve the right volume. for instance, the height that fits snug iirc is 13", and the length you want is 27", the calculator will give you the depth.
