box for alpine swr-1040 subs?

i just got a pair of 10" alpine swr-1040d subs. since i have a bunch of other time consuming projects, i'm just gonna save some time with a plain box instead of doing a custom job for the rear storage compartment. i've been looking all over the place and i can't seem to find any box specs for these subs. how big should i make the box?

lmfao oops i looked there too, i just glanced real quick and didn't see it hahaha, thanks for the response, i decided i'm gonna make the outer dimmensions of the box 32.25"Wx11"Hx10"D the 3/4" board. that will give me .70cubic feet per sub, less the displacement of the subs and supports.

hey, i got one of these subs too, but picked up a 12" DVC. tested it out for about half an hour running off and old US Amps 50a (purple, believe its 25w x 2...anyone help...) and for 50 watts, it was niiice. didnt wanna crank it, haven't broken it in. as soon as the mtx amp i ordered arrives, i'll be on my way.

oh, and i've got my sub in a 1.0 cu ft total box (about .7 with sub)
