from what I have read, the prefered is .9-1.1 soo I am thinking around .8 -.9 or so I found an online qtc calculator which said 1.25 was .7342 and .9 cu foot as you mentioned was .8372 so are you really gonna notice a differnce from .734 to .837?

Is it lower the cu foot the higher the qtc? you would think bigger box the sub has more space and it would be louder? not the opposte? Here's the link that I found it at.

With this sub, I build one of two boxes, 1.0 or 1.25 cu.ft. and they both sound great. Remember that you can be out by approx 30% on a sealed box before it will have highly noticeable effects on how the sub performs. While these subs can go in smaller boxes and they do sound fine, the bottom end comes to life in the larger box.
