Performance in this enclosure
01Is it a sealed driver?
Efficiency bandwidth product places the motor before anything else is decided.
02What the box does to it
1.00 cu ft against a 35.8 L Vas.
03The watts that reach Xmax (in this enclosure)
Travel scales with the square root of power, so there is one wattage that puts the cone exactly on 22.0 mm — and a bigger one once a subsonic filter stops it wasting travel below the passband.
| Param | Value | Unit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fs | 28.00 | Hz | free-air resonance |
| Qts | 0.540 | D2 | |
| Vas | 35.80 | L | equivalent compliance |
| Sd | 350.3 | cm² | effective piston area |
| Xmax | 22 | mm | one-way, as Ground Zero publish it |
| Pe | 400 | W | continuous RMS |

From the shop floor
Installer's take
1.00 cubic feet per chamber: Qtc 0.813 on the dual 2 ohm, F3 37.4 Hz.
The 3.35 inch motor clears the raked back with 5.47 to spare; the airspace sets the rest of the cabinet.
Ground Zero's manual is a full Klippel table and it checks out, but it prints no cone area, so that is derived; displacement is estimated.
A flat sealed box for this driver is 1.77 cubic feet, deeper than it is tall for a 10. At 1.0 the extension is within a hertz of that and the box fits a trunk; it just plays a little punchier.
At 3.35 inches of mounting depth this is a true shallow-mount 10: the motor clears the cabinet with room to spare.
Inserts ship in the kit, not pressed: Ground Zero prints no bolt circle. Mark from the driver, drill, press. Sealed, so leave the polyfill as it is and run it at 400 watts or under per driver.

Questions
Does this fit the Ground Zero GZRW 250-D2 FLAT, and will any other 10 inch fit?
The GZRW 250-D2 FLAT, yes, in the dual 2 ohm version. The baffle is cut to 9.13 in, Ground Zero's published cutout, under the 10.87 in frame. The 3.35 inch motor clears the cabinet with 5.47 inch to spare. Run two of the same coil so the chambers match.
Any other 10, no. The airspace is engineered around the GZRW 250-D2 FLAT's own Qts and Vas, and a different woofer that happened to drop into the hole would not see the alignment printed on this page.
Why 1.00 cubic feet per chamber, and what alignment does it target?
1.00 cubic feet net per chamber on Ground Zero's published figures: the dual 2 ohm reads Qtc 0.813 with resonance at 42.1 Hz and half power at 37.4 Hz. Ground Zero publishes no sealed volume for the GZRW 250-D2 FLAT. A maximally flat box would take 1.77 cubic feet, a 10 inch cabinet deeper than it is tall, for barely half a hertz more extension, so this one is built at 1.0 cubic foot: the same reach in a box that fits. That is a touch above maximally flat: a small lift near resonance and firm midbass.
Cabinet gain in a vehicle lifts the bottom end further, so in the car this reads deeper than the anechoic figures.
What amplifier power should I run, and how should I wire it?
Ground Zero rates the GZRW 250-D2 FLAT at 400 watts RMS per driver, so target 280 to 400 watts RMS per driver at the final load.
Ground Zero sells the GZRW 250-D2 FLAT as dual 2 ohm; a matched pair should share a coil. A pair of dual 2 ohm drivers lands on 2 ohms with each woofer's coils in series and the two woofers in parallel, or 8 ohms all in series. Anything under 1 ohm, and many amplifiers at 1 ohm, is outside what the amplifier is built for, so series wiring is the safe default. Confirm your amplifier's minimum stable impedance first.
Why the wedge angle, and why rear-firing into the trunk?
The seat-side face carries a 20 degree rake that matches the lean of a factory rear seat back, so the cabinet sits flush against it and the cargo space in front stays usable. The baffle is the vertical trunk-lid-side face, so the drivers fire rearward into the trunk cavity.
The trunk acts as an acoustic extension for the sealed box, and the cabin adds real output below 50 Hz, so in-vehicle response runs deeper than the anechoic 37.4 Hz on this page.
Why two separate chambers instead of one shared volume?
Two drivers sharing one sealed volume load each other: each driver's compression stroke becomes the pressure the other works against, which blurs the alignment either would have alone. A bonded full-height 3/4 inch divider gives each driver its own 1.00 cubic feet and its own polyfill.
It also means a failure in one driver does not unload the other, and the alignment on this page is the alignment in each chamber, not an average across a shared box.
What is the expected low-frequency extension?
Anechoic F3 is 37.4 Hz per chamber. Above Qtc 0.707 F3 sits below fc, so the response carries a small lift near resonance before it rolls off.
Those figures exclude cabin gain. In a car the cabin's transfer function adds real output below 50 Hz, so in-vehicle response runs deeper than the numbers above.
Do I need to add polyfill or damping?
No. Polyfill is already installed in both chambers as a light wall lining to control internal reflections, and the quantity is chosen so it does not change the acoustic volume.
Do not add more. Packing a sealed box with fill makes it behave as though it were larger, which walks the alignment away from the 1.00 cubic feet per chamber this cabinet was built to.
Is the driver included, and are the threaded inserts installed?
No driver. This is an enclosure only. You receive the cabinet finished in plush black carpet with the gloss black acrylic baffle insert, one side-mounted pre-wired terminal cup to both positions, the polyfill lining already in place, and a threaded insert kit with stainless machine screws.
The inserts ship loose on purpose: Ground Zero prints no bolt circle for the GZRW 250-D2 FLAT, so you set the driver in the recess, mark its holes, drill and press the inserts. The pair of Ground Zero GZRW 250-D2 FLAT is purchased separately, and the cabinet is cut direct fit to it, not a general purpose 10 inch box.
