Wall - what to build? 16 8"s

[StigA]

Hi bassheads! I need some help from you experts. I'm going to build a wall in a Jeep Xj for 16pcs 8 inch woofers but I'm not sure what type of enclousure.

Clamshell is my first thought, but I don't know how to calculate port tuning since part of it will be conical, and how much angle on the baffles..

4th order is also one thing, but I'm all new to this. All I know is that its one sealed part and one ported. Which way should subs be facing, how to tune port etc.

My "goal" is to be able to play good lows (25 - 35hz ish). I like dubstep, rap etc. I don't need to meter high on a Termlab, but have some fun factor/show off.

Max outer diameters on the box should be within 36" x 43" x 56"

Thanks for ideas, and let me know if you need more info on any thing.

Thank you! And we love you overthere, cause you guys have some serious ground pounders.

The reason.. hmm. Started with 8 8"s, but when I see builds with 8 18"s etc I thought fuck it, and got 8 more woofers.

So it no specific reason other than for fun and "wow factor"

A friend of mine had 8 of these 8"s in a regular box non walled in a golf mk3, it played 148,3db on music.

Over to my build, still thinking clamshell. Anyone here with experience? How do I calculate port tuning?
Thinking simular to this, but more angle on the baffles and not so huge port:

With something this complex I would purchase a plan from an established designer

OP I imagine you have deep, deep pockets, anyways what 8"s are you using?

Hehe. wrong I wish so tho. Subs are called LIB 808. Only sold in Norway, guess its some cheap china shit.. but they work, and are pretty cheap to be in my country. ish 100$ for a sub.

Here are specs: http://lydibilen.no/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=38&products_id=116

That would still be $1600 in subs alone, that's quite a bit, unhappily the link seems bad at this time.

ive seen some setups similar to this like 16 12s, the clamshell u need to make it look like a > so the sound goes forward, it will be louder
