I custom built my own tower on my last tige and i built in the speaker cans and mounting tabs for lights. I like the samson towers and will be getting one for my new tige. I was wondering what internal volume these speakers call for? Its not posted on the web site, at least not that I can find. I am thinking about making some custom cans and welding them to the tower.

There wont be any volume spec for the horns, just need to be deep enough to fit. For the mid-bass speakers, I would shoot for about .15-.20 cu/ft, but that's just my calculations. This should give you some decent mid-bass. Sounds like you are going with metal cans, I can say for sure that adding some dampening material (poly-fill) will improve the sound of the mid-bass speakers. They wont sound so "tinny".Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And More -

Chpthril is right on. The recommendation of .15 - .2 is perfect.
A note. You want a tiny "controlled leak" for the mid-bass enclosure, to prevent them from pressurizing. Kicker Marine speakers are completely sealed; there is no way to get water in them whem properly mounted, and therefore no way for air to get in or out. On hot days heated air can pressurize your enclosure. We recommend a TINY, (like .7mm, the smallest twist drill we could find) hole at the lowest part of the enclosure. This will keep air pressure normalized to atmosphere, but will not affect the enclosure and its volume. additionally, you will have a drain for any water, (even condensation) that might be trapped inside, helping to keep any metals from corroding.
Let us know!
