It depends on the power you plan on using as well. Kicker's site does have the box specs though, it's in the manual.

S18X
Recommended Enclosures
Tuner : 5 cu.ft. Port: 60sq.in. x 14.5"
Fb= 35Hz, Pmax= 5000W
( with 25hZ subsonic filter)
SUV: 10 cu.ft. Port: 150 sq.in. x 21"
Fb= 35Hz, Pmax=4500W
( with 25hZ subsonic filter)
SPL: 10 cu.ft. Port: 300sq.in. x 9"
Fb= 56Hz, Pmax= 10000
(Above tuning freq. only)
See below!
This enclosure is intended for SPL ONLY! It is designed
to be used with test tones above 56Hz! Playing music
with frequencies below 56Hz will result in very, very bad
things happening!!
For more advice on box building, see the Choosing and Building
Enclosures page in the Tech Tips & FAQs section of the Support area
on the Kicker website, www.kicker.com Or call Technical Services at 1-
405-624-8583.
ATTENTION!
The hardware we include will work with baffles up to 1.5"
thick. For thicker baffles you will need to use longer 1/4" x 20
hardware.

SoloX Series Sealed Enclosure Applications
The SoloX is designed for Vented enclosure/ High SPL applications
and that is where maximum output and power handling will be
achieved. If you are willing to give up maximum SPL and power handling
for more low bass output, then you can utilize our sealed enclosure
recommendations.These sealed enclosure recommendations will
give the smoothest response with the most energy at really low frequencies,
around 20 to 30 Hz.
The recommended Tuner sealed box will deliver massive amounts
of high impact bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier
power.
One of the benefits of the SoloX series high performance suspension
system is that they can operate in larger sealed enclosures for
ultra low bass performance (SUV applications) while still maintaining
excellent control and power handling.
SoloX series woofers also perform well in any sealed enclosure
between the Tuner and SUV sizes. These systems will exhibit some
benefits of both (high impact and low extension) generally sounding
more like the box to which they are most closely sized.
These enclosure volume recommendations are for the airspace
inside the enclosure and include the displacement of the woofer. Do
not make the airspace any greater than recommended.
S18X
Recommended Enclosures
Model
Tuner: 6 cu.ft., Fb= 51.3Hz
F3= 24.6Hz, Pmax= 2800W
SUV: 12 cu.ft., Fb= 48.8Hz
F3= 22.2Hz, Pmax= 2400W

or call our Technical service line at 1-405-624-8583.
