I can't seem to find the correct volume for my 10" It is in a variable box.
At 1.5cuFt it sounds nice but when I make it about half of that it is a bit
softer but it sounds about the same.

What should I listen for when I size my box? I want it as small as possible.

Thanks

Often times sacrificing size means compromising quality. If 1.5 ft^3
sounds best to you, then try to play with the dimensions to achieve that
in a box that fits your location.

Every sub has different Thiel Small Parameters. Don't guess. E-mail the
company who sells the driver and ask them for box plans for their driver.
