I'm definitely not that person, lol. I'm completely open to input. I know I need to look more into tuning and everything that goes along with it before I make any decisions. I'll probably be MIA for a few days while I look into it. Worst case scenario is I build a second box and I don't like...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does 1.75 tuned to 30Hz sound right? It's a Sketchup model from SSA, their small ported design. It's with the Demon stuff. Filename is labeled DCON, but maybe their close enough in build that this box works for both?

I just don't want to lose that quick, punchy metal music kickdrum. I really like that hit you in the chest feeling. Rap is a novelty that I don't really care about, hitting the low lows and whatnot. Meh. I would be interested in going ported if the frequency response is right for the music I...

I'm thinking about giving it some more power. I'm looking at an 800w amp that takes an 80 amp fuse. According to this chart, I should be able to run 8ga the 6 or 7' I would need it. I have a distro blocks that are 4ga back to the battery and ground. Would it be safe to run 8 ga for the 7' run...

One thing for sure is that I need some sound deadening. The sound difference between stopped and 60mph is night and day. It's actually not terrible when I'm stopped or moving slowly. I'm wondering if I'd be happier with a 10" sub with lower power handling requirements. A 10" would allow me to...

Yeah, I get it. I'm considering my options.

I'd imagine ports would have to be pretty unobstructed. That box would work if I turned it with the 13x21 side facing down. If I could work the sub onto the biggest face with a slot or aero port(s) on the same side, I could do it. That's going to be tough with the depth of the sub mounted that way.

Im assuming since those are areo ports, I can tweak the overall dimensions to fit my space, as long as I keep the overall volume of the box the same?

I don't think so, but I'll double check. Glad I went with the threaded inserts. I have some 14ga around here somewhere. It's not enough to do the whole run, but if there is a connection issue inside the box, maybe I can redo everything in the box with 14ga.

NVX VADM1 BigD's Youtube channel tested it on the dyno and got: 467w certified @ 14.16v 503w up to clipping @ 13.8v 636w burst @ 13.97v When I take out the sub, I'm going to double check the wiring. It was kinda difficult to get two runs of 12ga wiring into the sub terminals when I was wiring...

SSA's site says 0.85 - 1.1 ft^3 and I'm in at 1.1, and I tried it in the back seat facing the front seat. I've made the box with the biggest allowable foot print, if I went bigger for ported, I would have to build up vertically, which I guess is doable. I would need to protect the sub, and...

I wouldn't say pathetic, just underwhelmed. Seems underpowered to me. Went riding dirt roads yesterday so I could get away from neighbors. Placed the box firing towards the tailgate, and also in the back seat facing the front. Facing front was a little better. I played a 50hz test tone and...

Correct. It's down-firing and within spec. I have a big cooler that I carry around in the summer (priorities) and the box was pretty much built around it. There's about an inch on either side of the cooler with the box in the back. Still pretty underwhelmed. The sub isn't even really moving...

One issue is apparent. My source *****. My HU is always connected to my phone bluetooth. I listen to a lot of YouTube videos because I'll get a song in my head that I'll want to hear and it's easy to just YouTube it. None of the music levels are the same, some loud some soft, all compressed and...
