dudes let me tell you how to do it:
Step 1: spend a month or more without buying another cheap crappy amp
Step 2: make (and save) a little extra dough
Step 3: buy good amp
Result: bass like you've never heard, and that doesn't go into protect
Cheers!

Selling My Hifonics Bxi1206D. Great Beginner Amp and could definitely push an L7 or a CVR. Lemme know what you'd wanna spend. It pushes about 900 Hifonics rms which wouldn't overpower a 750 watt cvx or L7. I'd take 150 plus S&H

If you subtract 3/4" for the walls you are left with 3.1466154 CF. The port and sub displacement needs to be subtracted as well.

Before you buy anything new. Make sure you know how to set your gains correct. That is a big problem when you are using gear like lanzar, pyle, and pyramid. They say 2000 watts on them, but they don't put out even close to that. So, some people I'm not saying you did, turn the gain up to try to get it louder and end up toasting the subs. Just make sure you do a lot of research on here and ask a lot of questions. The last thing you want to do is buy some decent products and end up burning up the coils on the subs and so forth. Just my 2cents.

56" X 8.5"(average between the 10" bottom and the 7" top) X 16" = 7616 / 1758 = 4.3321956 CF. This is just over 4 cubic feet, but these are not taking in consideration the wall thickness and/or sub and port displacement.

You need to use the 3.1466154 CF measurement. That one has the walls configured for 3/4".

Its a slanted box Kevin.

The bottom is 10" wide and the top is 7" wide.

To get the exact volume you subtract 7 from 10 (10 - 7 = 3).

Then you divide the difference in two (3 / 2 = 1.5).

Then you add the difference (1.5) to the smallest number (7). So, you add 7 + 1.5 which comes to 8.5 :-)

So then the math comes out.

:-)
