I am building a custom wedge box for my two mm100's. I've been told by a couple of box builder's to only have 1feet^3 of airspace. Yet, shouldn't it be .62*2=1.24feet^3?

Also, I've been planning on doing it without a divider because I will be running them bridged. Is this ok?

Thanx for all the help

To get the best possible performance build a 2 chamber enclosure that has a sealed volume of .66 for each chamber. If you plan on building a common chamber for both woofers, then the recommended volume is 1.0 cubic feet. Install 3/4 to 1 pound
of polyfill in the enclosure, and allow 40 hours of playing music at a reasonable level to let the driver's suspension "break in".
A good crossover frequency for these woofers is 80 to 90 Hertz.
Just make sure that the amplifier is capable of driving a 2 Ohm bridged mono load. The recommended power for these woofers is between 400 to 800 Watts.

Happy Bassing!!

Does polk have any designed boxes that they will give the plans out? Thanks a bunch

Just so that I have this right...its 1.0cu foot for BOTH subwoofers? Not 1 per woofer. (totaling 2)
