Crap you are right. I forgot to account for clearance around the port and the car. I will also move it off center just to be safe. Ill have to make the box narrower and taller to account for the port clearance. :) thanks for reminding me of that.

Maybe 2k not sure. maybe more. wouldn't it be closer to 28.26" for the 6" port? and be about 10 ^2 per cubic ft? I thought that would be enough... maybe not though. that's why I am asking :)

Use the calculator lol...I'm not near a PC or id check it for ya. If I remember right my port area was alot closer to 100 for my 4 8s.

Says for 2k in 3 cubes @35hz optimal is 66in2 or 22.1per cube. Forgot I had my laptop in my toolbox!

Also I wanted to add this last box was just going to be a quick test box just to put them in something. It could be a smaller sealed box, I just thought I would try to add a 6" port since I have plenty of 6" PVC laying around. It wont be the final version I will end up using. I just wanted to put them in something. Maybe it is a waste of time building a quick temp box...

I like slot ports just because I don't have to buy anything extra to port and it helps structurally too. I'm guessing you can't get enuff port area with a 6" tube? It's just plain ass hard to get numbers right in small boxes with high power lol...and they quality u build boxes  ( looking at ur last one for the xrs) u can build a temp box and sell it when u build the one you want ya know?

Also sonotube is cheap and you can get 8 and 10" pretty easily too if that helps any. Just gotta touch and glue it to two walls or some power will tear it up lol

Yeah I have the pvc so I was going to use it. I could do a slot port but it would take longer. plus I wasn't getting the sr inches I wanted there either. If I need more than one 6" port it becomes longer than my box. an 8" is also longer than the box. so right now it is probably a single 6" or no port for the test box. I would like to try using a PR or 2 like that earthquake one (not sure if it is any good though) but I don't know how many I need. I think I understand the tuning method, just afraid two 10" isn't enough for quad 8" subs. Also I would have to buy them. everything else I have laying around....
