Price Paid:  $280.00 from friend

Summary:
I bought two Orion XTR 3's in a bandpass box off of a friend about 3 and a half years ago for 280.00. They been through three cars now, and it has been my favorite sounding system ever. Pushing it, is a 300 watt JBL monoblock amp, bridged at 2 ohms pushing 300 watts per channel. The only problem, after 3 yrs of pumping bass, is that the subs destroyed the composite "pressed" wood in the bandpass breaking the screws through. I want to build a custom sealed box, but i need help with dimensions for the box, how much cubic feet do i need to get the max bass out of these subs? If anyone knows what the reccommended dimensions are, can you e-mail me with them? Thanx!! Mbarb15@yahoo.com
