Sometimes its listed, sometimes its not. Its not technically a T/S spec.

Usually you just have to take a wild guess comparing off known speakers/displacement.

For instance my 15" SS SPL170 is about .25 cubic feet.

What subs are you trying to guess?

take a thick plastic bag, put your speaker in it. fill up a 5 gallon bucket with water, set the sub in it. take sub out, measure the amount of water missing...

= displacement

actually it is now two different subs:

1) Infinity 124.7 Kappa 12"


2)Quantum QCW15D2 Cozmic 15"



I'm building boxes for these subs. The 15's will be in a common chamber box (unless that is not the best idea) sealed.


The 12 will just be mounted in the box.

Thanks,

Tim
