but you can pretty much make any dimensions you want (as long as the sub has enough mounting depth and width). TWO sides can be the same length if desired but all 3 can't.

And also, when calculating your box volume, don't forget to factor in wood thickness and sub displacement.

now children - play nice in the sandbox or else.....
TTT is correct, a perfect cube isn't that big of an issue when talking about sub bass.
you can also run a ported enclosure without a ssf if you want to. Just tune it low and use common sense...
