18" BTL box help

[TylerBD12 10+ year member]

So I just bought a 2000 blazer and have SOOO much room!!!(atleast more than i had in the camaro.)

I'm planning on putting a 18" fully loaded BTL in it

I listen to mostly rap. so what should i tune it to?

The max dimensions of the box are going to be 29x37x15 i think that comes out to 9.2 cubic feet or somewhere around there. so if anybody wants to make me box plans that would be great too, cuz i have no clue how to do any of that.

I would tune to 30hz or so... I love how music on my 18" BTL sounds at that tuning. When I do the wall we're going to tune it for 33hz daily.

I also have a blazer. How would this design work out, it's 7.6 cubes at 31hz...

Should I lower the height of it to lower the cubes or do you think 7.6 is just right.

Should I increse the port area by making it into a L port and using a wedge in the corner to decrease port nose.

Also it looks like I will need some serious bracing too.

I have 2250 watts rms going to it.

I'm orderign my 18" BTL this week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

BTW, this is pretty much like my design I did for my typr R's and it pounds hella good...

what is the RE sub box design?

This is just a basic L port desgin, you think more port area will help out? More port area will also help bracing. How about this 6.3 @ 30hz...
