95' Maxima Box Design for a single SXX15D2

[FunkMcOwnage]

I'm trying to design a box for a single SXX15D2 for my 95 Nissan Maxima. These is what I've come up with so far.

The specs for the woofer are as follows:

15"
   Mounting Depth - 8.4 inch
   Mounting Hole Diameter - 14 inch
   Overall Diameter - 15.5 inch
   Bolt Hole Circle - 14.65 inch
   Motor Width - 7.3 inch
   Motor Depth - 3.6 inch
   Basket Depth - 4.8 inch
   Displacement - 0.18 cu. ft.
   Weight - 27.6 lbs.

Would a box 16" tall be big enough for a 14" mounting hole? the overall diameter of the woofer is 15.5".

The RE Box calculator gives me a totally different tuning frequency than Torres Box Calculator. I realize they're 2 different programs, but which is more accurate?

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated

One inch per side of the mounting area will be just fine...just add some strength in that area or do a double baffle

add strength as in brace it with mdf triangles?

I would do 4.0^3 with a 4" port (PVC) 4 inches long.....*****Remember to round the inside of the port both front and rear*****

If I were to make a square port box, like I'm suggesting?

Slot and Round ports

problem with this. you have a port that is big enough to touch 3 sides of the box (assuming you're doing a standard L port box). if you are, you need to put in "3" for # of common port walls.

edit: and 50hz is a REALLY fucking high tuning dude. why do you want to tune that high?

I don't want to tune that high. The RE Calculator gave me 35hz as a tuning frequency with these same dimensions. That's why I asked which calculator was more accurate.
