yes the box around the magnet has to be a certain size but your overall install can be how you like!

and if you want your sub in a REALLY small box (0.5 cubic feet) and it needs 1 cubic foot, you can use polyfill inside the box to make the sub think its in a bigger box!

yes i meant it needs a percific amount of air, I mean look at box design shapes, from wedge to normal square, also bandpass and all of these, they're all different shapes if u know wot i mean and can also be different sizes but still have the same air.

i'd say thats pushing it m8, from listening to other people on forums they say about 10-20% but nothing beats PROPER volume. Ive tried the stuff, personally didnt do much for me, Ive tried my 12's in 1.7cuft, 1.95cuft and 1.25cuft (1.25 sounding the best BUT larger than factory recs). The only boxes i could get in the boot with the setup i wanted was 0.7cuft and No amount of polyfill or magnet out and polyfill could get the the nice sound of 1.25 boxes.
