Can anyone design me a box?

[tequila]

Whats up guys.

Ive been trying to build a box for my (yet to arrive) 18" AQ HDC3 but it isn't really turning out how i would like it.

You guys must have some tricks/ideas that i just dont know about yet (ive only built L-Ported boxes)!

I'm trying to get this box as big as possible with the small dimensions i have to work with.

I dont know about the tuning frequency, i've been happy with 33hz in previous setups, but i dont know, what do you recommend?

I like listening to decaf's slowed songs & stuff..

I'd like the box to fit in my (small) '99 honda civic hatch.

These are the max exterior dimensions i can work with:

26.3" deep

30.7" wide

20.1" high

It will have to be ported up towards the hatch this way to allow the port to breathe.

I've thought about taking out the backseats and just making a huge box but there's this metal seat latch that i just dont want to cut away...

Can you guys help me?

Thanks a BUNCH.

I would suggest you build to the dimensions you have given.

For net volume vs. port area, I would build a 6" x 15" L-port that is 25" long. That will require the L portion of the port to be 5" long.

This leaves you with 6 ft tuned to ~33.5 Hz.

I think a HDC tuned to 36-37hz will get plenty low, they don't need low tuning to get low.

If you tune too low with those woofers you will get almost no higher bass.
