Default Custom 12" sub box help

I think I have designed a box that will fit in the back corner of my 02 4dr Blazer. There is a little space between the wheel hump and back corner of the tailgate. I just bought a Sony XS-L126P5 from my work for $20 so I thought making a box would be a fun experience. I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find the space required for a sub to hit properly.

usually it's on the manufacturer's specs for the sub... comes in the box when you buy it... for yours the net volume should be 0.77 cu-ft.

Thanks I ended up finding the paper you were talking about underneath a piece of cardboard in the box. Here is my design I drew up and if I did the math correct its just over the recommended size. I made a cardboard mock up and it fit just fine in the corner. My wife doesn't mind if I have a sub but doesn't want to loose any cargo space.

remember it's net volume, so the .77 is the volume after you subtract the volume of the sub itself. This is also for a sealed enclosure.... a ported one will need more volume. The second page of the spec sheet has the recommended size for a ported box..
