will this sub fit in a standard sealed enclosure or is it too big. does it need a custom built enclosure?

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.

It will need a custom built enclosure because of the size of the sub itself. My fiancee and I had to have a box built around it by Pioneer specifications.

I've had my pioneers in a standard pre-fab box then switched them to a custom box.. I will say the difference is like night & day, the prefab box will hit some low notes nicely, but a custom box definitely treats the speakers right & brings out the full potential of them.

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

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.

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.

If you have the space I recommend you get a 3.5 cubic foot box ported. A sealed box is only for small spaces like truck boxes. Ported is always better than sealed, but port must be tuned correctly for the subs, my box is at 36 hz and these sub pound crazy, great for the money! I have a 3000.1d hifonics amp powering these cheap babies.

The port is on the bottom, and the pre-out SUB is where you would want to connect it. The feet on the sub hold it up plenty high for the bottom port to be functional.. In a small room, this is all the sub you need. our room is 16 x 18 with 2 open doors, still plenty of bass. it isnt the most refined sub, but properly adjusted it is not boomy either.

Any size will work, but I prefer to put somewhere between 18-14 gauge wiring. Also be careful with that box, it seems to be a little small for the sub. My brother in law blew 2 subs in one of those boxes. He then had a custom sealed one made with .70 ft and haven't had any problems

The sub Box you need is a box with a air volume of .80You can make any Design of box as long as it has a air volume of .80 or as close to that as possible I have two of these subs and my air volume for each box is .78 wich is really close to it and it won't make a difference for tht little bit off from .80

Sub is 5-9/16 deep and you only have 4.25" to work with.. This box is for shallow/slim subwoofers..

I would recommend the Bbox Pro Series Single 10-Inch Sealed Subwoofer Enclosure. You may want to consider the box dimensions based on your application needs.

You can fit standard subs in it. I have two of the boxes and I have kicker 10" cvr subs in them.

Specs can be found on MTX's page and many other sites. Look under "Specifications" or "Details" (Reference: Google)W=10", H=10", D=21.25"https://www.mtx.com/rt8pt-amplified-subwoofer-enclosure#product-detailshttp://www.crutchfield.com/S-5EThBbuZrM0/p_236RT8PT/MTX-RT8PT.html

Melissaaa, this sub is downward firing with a port on one side. So you don't want to cram it (or any other sub) into a tight space. (The wave length of 80 hz - right in the middle of this sub's specs - is 14 feet long.) Also, you might want to consider that you'll have an RCA cord from your amp that will have to be plugged in in the rear of the unit. A good - say Blue Jeans Cable rca plug and gauge of wire - is going to project at least three to four inches. So your depth would actually be something on the order of 14 to 15 inches.

It will only fit a shallow mount sub. A nine inch deep sub would not fit. I went with a four inch shallow mount sub.

The best is slot ported as shown on the screen. I build my own and they always sound better.I got 2 cheap 20 dollar subs for my girlfriend and they sounded great.. Yes it will fit...

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 have always had sealed enclosures for my subs in the past and I bought a ported for the w7 and I was not disappointed. There is a guy on eBay that sells custom w7 enclosures but they are pretty expensive. That's who I bought mine from. Since this sub already has great SQ, I think you should go ported to max out your sound. Make sure the box you buy is Jl specs because I have read if it's not, it might not sound the best

The box has about 1.5 cubic feet per chamber. If the sub specifically states that it needs more air space than that then no. But with most 15 in subwoofers they need between 1 to 3 cubic feet per sub, and most can get away with 1.5 cubic feet. So in my opinion they would fit just fine
