I haven't glued my pieces together yet so shrinking shouldn't be to hard. Just gonna be a little wasted wood. Next time I'll have to make sure I read the ports right lol. I went off a Facebook group and they all said 2 4" ports would work perfect. Foamboard insulation would be your best bet for keeping it light. As far as Facebook goes, a lot of people don't know what the hell they are talking about (and that's putting it nicely :-) "Nothing prevents people from knowing the truth more than the belief they already know it.""Making bass is easy, making music is the hard part."Builds: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_1990 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah that's why I came here. To many people giving to many false opinions on there. As far as sealing it I'll just cut my wood down to the correct size. It's not glued yet so thatwill be easy. I may see if I can't find someone I can give my dimensions to and see if they can come up with a slot port for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_1990 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 This is the layout I had currently. The shape of the box is extremely important because of my cars trunk floor. It has weird humps on the sides for some unknown reason (dodge charger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 From your pic I have this: I would just need to make sure what's ypur box depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_1990 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 18" outside diameter 16.5 I.d. for depth. Everything else looks spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 For sealed you would do as follows, it's basically cutting you parts in such a way that you get a total external depth of 10": Box Specs: 2.0 cubic feet net, 1 1/4" cross brace front to back.

Joe X Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 For a ported box you would do as follows with the materials you already have, I have used 16.5" as internal depth: Box Specs: 3.1 cubic feet net tuned to 34 Hz. It's a smaller box but still well within Alpine recommendations, pretty sure you will be fine with it and for the most part a better option than the sealed alternative.

Justin_1990 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Joe that is awesome! Appreciate the help man. I'll go the ported route I still have half a sheet of birch left so don't even need to spend more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
