Will this subwoofer fit in a standard sealed enclosure or is it too big. Does it need a custom built enclosure?

It will fit in a standard box box but what you have to remember is that the box is what makes up your sound I built my own box for 2 that went in my civic tuned to 31 hz and it sounded like 2 12 you can get on re box calculator and design your own box all you have to do is print get the MD cut and build good lock

It will fit in a standard box but will not sound nearly as good as it should

Yeah, for sure a large sealed enclosure due to the high QTS (open baffle) parameters of in wall speakers. Ported would result in many trial and error tunings with midbass peaks. Try it out though, no difference between wall cavity and an enclosure to the speaker itself. Without T/S specs this will be a gamble, try around 1-1.5 (larger yields deeper bass extension roll off but less accuracy in bass tones) cube feet enclosure to mimic a wall cavity, heavy stuffing. Have fun.

Honestly if your that worried about the quality in your enclosure you should simply build it yourself. This box is air tight but the mdf used is 1/2 in. which has been known to flex which will cause a decrease in bass production also, this enclosure will likely not meet the manufacturers specifications for volume futher more decreasing bass production.

If "free air" means no box, then no, it won't work very well as a sub-woofer. If you mean a ported enclosure, then yes it will work well. A ported enclosure will give it a "boomey" kind of sound, which is fine for some types of music like hip- hop or metal. A sealed enclosure will make the bass sound tighter which is better for other types of music. The sealed enclosure will also require more power to drive the sub. Mine gets 100 watts continuous and I have used both types of enclosures. I'm skeptical about that 600 watt rating.

most standard pre-made enclosures are too small I had mine custom made but if you search around a bit you can find one that it will fit in

Yes! This would be an excellent box for it. This is one serious sub box, I love it and gives off clean low bass.

Your speakers will need to be low profile as there is not a lot of room. I had two 10 inch MTX 800 subs that were too big for the box. I eventually placed two low profile 10 inch Kickers in there and they worked perfectly.

I made a fiberglass enclosure however, I believe the recommended size is between .5 and 1 cu. ft. Of airspace which looks like a box about twice the size of the sub.

Yes, it comes with the custom tuned Polk enclosure. Very well built, still 0 regret in buying this setup!

Std( midgrade )sub will fit but you'll get better sound from a shallow mount sub due to inadequate air space. I have a kicker cvt in mine and it gives me great bass all around

I don't have a number. It isn't that simple. The mounting depth is dependent on the shape of the speaker basket and magnet. Most 'shallow'subs will fit.Most regular subs will not fit without either a space ring or grinding the inside of the box.

This is a general 18" replacement woofer for PA style enclosures or powered subs so there is really not a set spec for enclosure as they are designed to be a universal replacement woofer

8 inches is the diameter of the subwoofer speaker itself. Its enclosure is much bigger.

It depends. If the enclosure was built for a regular pioneer champion series, the hole will need to be widened and/ or the champion pro will need to be raised a bit with a custom ring. I used a ported champion series enclosure for this champion pro and had to use a baffle ring so that the sub could fit. Long story short: if the sub cannot fit then you will need to build one to specifications.

I put it in a sealed box enclosure with .78 cu ft internal box volume, works great!

Any sub sounds better in a vented box. Even so, I made a closed box for the small space I have an it sounds great.

This box is 1.79 ft as indicated in the description. I bet you can find some great information about the air space spec of your sub woofer from Rockford Fosgate. Then you can ascertain for yourself weather or not this will work for your application.
