Max dimensions are 35x16x25

I've come up with 5.7 cubes after displacements. tuned to 30hz, but not too sure on how it will work. this is my first "big boy build"

2 15" RE SE subs (D2)

2 SAE-1200D

all the proper wiring etc.

Looking for a low end monster for daily use. I have plenty of extra power on tap, so the design does not have to be efficient, but more or less control the subs getting 2x RMS

and i put the sealed option in there in case someone thinks it would work out better

Please leave feedback as well, i can take constructive criticism :)

Current Setup:

Factory HU with LOC

mids/highs-Insignia components

Sub- E8 in bass tube

Amp- sae-1200d

Show Setup:

HU-Sony MEX-1HD (brings massive respect for sony)

fronts - Infinity Kappa perfect comps

rears- Infinity Kappa coax

mid/high amp - Autotek 5600

Subs - 2 RE SE 15's

Sub Amps - 2xSAE-1200D

Box - 5cubes sealed

Wire- Lots of Knu 1/0

I'd say subs and port on the same face of the box, that will at least leave you the option to turn the box around easily. Then you can decide if you want it to firs against the trunk or into the cabin. If you fire it into the cabin, sealing it from the trunk will be your best bet as well.

i'm hoping to not seal it off from the trunk. i will take the box out about once a month and i think think resealing it each time will be a pain. otherwise, i would just seal it, fire forward and be done.

On a side note, i've seen trunks sealed off a few times, but i've never really seen any "clean" front firing installs. I know they exist, but do any of you have some pics for examples? and yes i have search quite a bit :)

damn, that does look good. i'm trying to think of a way to build a frame face so that i could basically screw the baffle to a weathersealed frame attached to the opening and then that would make the box removable. any thoughts on this?
