check manufact' website. If nothing there, grab all the parameters and enter them into a box building program like winISO.

Now there's some logic!

cubic ft can be measured by multiplying the inner dimensions of hte box such that
. (length * width * height)
. ______________________ = cubic feet
. 1728
Typically, a 1.5cuft chamber tuned to 35hz will sound decent with a variety of subs.

Its kind of hard to explain because i do not exactly know how it works but the SPL that it displays does not mean that is the actual output SPL you'll get on say... a meter or something.
basically all that graph is showing you is how 'efficient' that box will be to the speaker itself and in reproducing sound as a result. Obviously, the flatter the graph line, the better the response will be since it won't be so focused/specialized to one specific frequency and thus sounding terrible in real life.
You have to be aware that even though the program can show you the ideal graphs and build specifications, they are contained in an infinite universe and perfect world. We don't live in a perfect world and you're not perfect, there will be mistakes. But trying to get your box and setup made and put in the best way possible will help overcome that.
Good luck.

Also do not forget to take into account the displacement the subwoofer's magnet consumes within the box after you use that formula.
