Each is about a 2-foot cube. [everything else edited out] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I might point out that the original poster specified a 2-foot cube ^^^^^^ not "2 cubic feet" as the retort postings mentioned in both instances. . A 2-foot cube as specified is 2^3 = 8 cubic feet of volume. I'd be interested in the calculations with this new volume (minus some for wall thickness). A 2-foot cube is pretty good sized. Remember the new Bose Yuppie boom box that was discussed a few months ago? The one that is supposed to have "decent" bass yet is "the size of a bread box"? What if you made one of those with 8 cubic feet of box? Remember the Bose was also supposed to be ultra efficient. What if you traded off efficiency as well? Whatever.

The internal volume of the AR-9 is 120 liters (4.24 cu. ft) with (2) 12" woofers.
