I'd suggest at least 100 sq in of port, so you are looking at either a pair of 8" ports or a single 12".

Well a 6" round port has just over 28" sq in of port area, so you really should use at least three of them, and even then you will be a tad on the low side for port area. With three ports they will need to be around 38" long to tune you to 30 Hz. You are probably going to have a hard time fitting that in your box, even if you had enough pipe to do it.

I don't really know what to tell you. You could just use the two you have, at 24" long with two they should tune you to right around 30 Hz, but you are WAY low on port area. For comparison purposes, Sundown recommends 112 sq in of port area for their 18" subs and with two 6" ports you will be at exactly half that. Its up to you decide how much effort you want to put into this box to do things right.

7 cubes. I would use two 6" areo.

I had a box for two 18s that was 13.5cubes with 4 6" areos that were full length so like 16" long each and that box slammed and had great bandwidth. So I would just do 7cubes with two 6" areos for a single 18

Well how long would the 2 18's be and the single 12

Depends on what you want to tune to, a 40" long port 12" in diameter will tune you to around 32 Hz.

I'm not sure what 2 18's you are referring to.

So do you already have this 7 cube box you are trying to put the port into? Or are you going to build a box that is 7 cubes?
