hey man, good job!

can't really see the amp rack too well because of the pics, but whatever works right? i'm just gonna mount mine on a slab of mdf attached the the back of the rear seats :D

what are the dimensions of that slot port? and what's it tuned to? looks pretty cool inverted like that... and what kinda subs are you runnin with what power?

looks pretty good so far man! i'll show you some pics of mine once i'm done, in less than a week i hope!

Due to length problems, the sq port is only 4X6X14 resulting in a 29hz tune......spl port......not pictured is tuned to 48hz and is 6X10

Subs will be stereo integrity Magnum D2's.

actually the 29hz tune is a lot better for street, cause your sub won't bottom out on any tunes that you crank.. the 48hz is dope for SPL, just play frequencies in between 50-60hz and you'll hit crazy numbers.

Yea, the unfortunate part was the lack of port area for the SQ port. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no huffing......but I ain't bettin on it.

are those ports goin to be swappable? cause that's the best way of doin it, just use bolts/nuts to hold the ports in so that they can be easily swapped in and out... cause if you have room for the SPL port, then you should have more then enough room for the SQ one, cause the lower frequency you tune the port, the smaller the port...

what program you using to calculate the sizes? i used WinISD, a dope program which does almost everything for you...

Actually, larger port area coupled with a lower tune results in longer port length.

Yes, the ports are swappable. Done with allen head bolts and t-nuts. I used winisd as well.

oh ya i guess you're right about that... but why not go with a small port tuned at a low frequency? there's no need to have a huge one, especially if it don't fit...

i would go with a smaller one anyways for SQ so that you get more punchy bass out of it, but that's just my preference

The smaller the port, the more likely the chance of port noise. Port area shouldn't change the "punchyness" of bass, provided the tuning is the same......to a certain extent of course....too much port and it turns into an IB application. I would have liked to have had more port area because the subs I'm going to be using displace quite a bit of air and with the small port area, there's a chance I'll get some port noise.
