Audio Systems: Subwoofer Box specifications, sony xplod, box performance


Question
I've been looking everywhere for specifications for the Sony Xplod XS-L1037 (10" Sub 800 watts from last year i think) and I cannot freaking find them anywhere... The box i have now sucks so bad and was a hand-me-down from a friend that was bought from a store. It doesn't sound good and Ive spent the last 4 and a half hours looking for the info I need. I'm trying to find for ported enclosure if its available or can be determined. Please help me

Like you, I could not find much on that design.  Specs, however, are not too unlike each other for 10 inch car subwoofers.

The links above are boxes for various 10 inch drivers; you will note not too much difference among them.  So, maybe this will give you some ideas.

In the worst case, you may have to take measurements on it; get the Small parameters and do a design for the box performance that you want to get.

You might find it in the database at:

Which is pretty nifty, comprehensive data for many, many drivers.

Finally, there are a couple of other xplods that are similar and may have the same parameters, or very close, that you could find information on.

Good Luck with your improvement project.
