Help with noise from the high velocity air that will be moving along the edges of the port.

If you can get enough of a rounded edge, it can improve the performance of the port, but a small 1/2" - 3/4" round over will just help with port noise, since your port will be on the small side.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

no one will ever agree with putting a BTL in a sealed box, i still suggest trying it before you go out and sell the BTL and buy new subs, you never know, you might like the sound of it in a sealed box and decide not to get new ones

i say what ever the recc for ported is, cut that in half and use that, my sealed box is about 4 cubes after displacement, and works really well.. and the rec for my subs are 4 cubes each ported

I have built sealed enclosures for 18s that EBP'ed strongly-ported before for the same reasons as you and had great results. The lows for a heavy 18 in a sealed enclosure can be tremendous.

To be fair, I have also literally torn a few 18s up in sealed boxes. The suspension of the sub has to move much more in a sealed box, so there is the potential for the sub to be damaged mechanically. However, the BTL is tough. I don't know that you'll hurt it mechanically with only 2000 watts RMS.

yeah you think since the btl is only 10.25 deep i could make the box 11 inches tall? or 11.5 better? cause if its shorter can make it a bit deeper.
