Hi, new to the forum but I've been browsing it for a while now.
Currently building a system on a budget.
I'm getting the 2 SQ HDC3 12's, either 2 SQ 2200's or 2 Hifonics brutus 2400's.
Also throwing an XS battery in there (not sure which one yet) and a HO Alternator. Starting off with a smaller amp until I have the extra money to buy everything.
Right now I'm sitting on a 01 Malibu with some fold-down seats and I'm looking to either build the box inside the trunk or push it through a backdoor if possible. Tuning the box is really what I'm confused about.
I decided to make the box 5 cubes after sub and port displacement and tune it to 34hz with 16 sq inch port per cube. My old 9518 knocked my old window out of place and i miss it. For that, I just bought a box. In the past I've built a sealed box for some type r's and bought a pre-fab box for the sundown sa12.
I have all the tools to build a box however the programs I've been trying to use seem to be useless for giving me the box design after I enter all the parameters.
Additionally, the space I'm working with in my trunk is 17" H, 35" W, and 29" L.
Now I'm wondering if I should use an aeroport or a slot port. I'd like to do an aeroport (But not dead set on it).. But I'm also not sure how to brace the inside of the box. I also cannot figure out what size or length i would need of tubing, I've read up on flares (which seem to be imperative).
Another aspect of the design I was curious about is whether I should face the subs and port towards the trunk or the cabin. I was planning on having them face the cabin and maybe seal off the trunk. But again, it's not something I very knowledgeable about but I'd be very interested if it made those subs slap!
Thank you all.
