4 10w0's in an SUV... but HOW?

[cotjones 10+ year member]

K so since i've been tooling around in my blazer a little bit recently, I've got the notion to put subs back in it cause it already screams in the high-end.

I got 4 10w0's i can throw in it, and the quick and easy way would be to just seal them and be done, but my car has the 3 10W6v2's in it, so i'm feeling that would be less than satisfying.

So i think i'd like to undertake a ported box for the 4.

I want all of the subs and the port(s) back firing, and i think i have to do a sort of 2x2 configuration because i don't think i have the room to do the 4 inline.

Problem is I've never really done ported boxes for more than one speaker, and always used factory specs. Adding subs is a little bit unknown territory for me.

If it must be ONE port, i was thinking it should be at the bottom of the box (horizontal). I'd rather 2 ports on either side vertical, if thats doable.

So what would you do, and how do you do the math for tuning the port and junk?

I would just pay to have someone design it. Doing two different ports, one on each side seems like it would be complicated to design. One on the bottom seems easier. Why not go with two facing the rear and two facing upwards?

There are many options, get a hold of RAM_Designs and let him do a design for you. He does charge, but its not bad at all and short of having one built it will be your best option.

Srsly? STFU.

I implore you to give me one, just one reason what I asked is stupid.

It's a perfectly legitimate question.

2 facing different staging seems to create alot of unknowns. Plus in my experience, Rear firing gives the best balance of the loading effect and resonance peaks, especially in SUVs.
