  1. Box all the way to the back of the trunk, subs and port firing forward, sealed off with trim panels (the "wall" you were talking about) will give great results. Give you the flexibility of putting back seats down for when you want to turn up, or up when you have passengers.

    If you are running 4k watts to these subs in a 3 cube net box, then minimum port area (according to Triticum's port calculator, which is pretty on par with WINISD for keeping port velocity below 32m/s) the min. port area required for a slot port is 60 inches squared, and for an aero port is 51 inches squared. Optimal port area is 81 square inches for slot and aero ports. If you shoot for over the minimum, the box should perform well.

  2. With the ported box you are getting the front and rear wave of the sub whereas the sealed you are only getting the front wave and I am not sure if 1.15 ft^3 sealed per sub would give you the output you are looking for. I just switched my sister's single boston g110 that was in a 1ft^3 sealed box to a custom ported box 1.41ft^3 net (after port displacement) that was tuned to manufacture specs, and on the same power that sub went from tame and almost unnoticable to damn, are you sure that is the same sub?

    The SA series is very clean and has dual farady shorting rings on the coils to reduce distortion, so they produce very clean tight strong bass in almost any enclosure. I have heard the E-series is awesome too, so I am sure you could even put 2 E-series in a properly tuned and ported enclosure and you would be happy.

  3. They don't list a peak handling because different companies use different methods to determine rms and peak power handling, these subs are rated at what they can handle free-air running all day long without a break, whereas something else may be rated at peak what it goes up in flames at and rms at what half of that flame rating is. Sundown builds quality subs that can take way more power than they are rated at, but you also have to be smart about what you are doing. If you are questioning whether you want to buy one then do yourself a favor and buy one, fall in love and never turn back. And if by a small chance you don't like it (I haven't heard from anyone that doesn't) then you can turn around and re-sell the sub quick and without much of a loss as these things sell like candy, and they can be re-coned for $40.
