Anyone with hfi 12's experience

[4OZGLOVES 10+ year member]

I've decided to strip out the 2.5 rs and turn it into the rally beast I've wanted and I picked up an old caravan to run daily to work and back. I'm going for a super budget air mover. I've got 16 hfi 12's that I still need to build the box for I'm not gonna compete with it, i'm just looking to do nasty hairtricks with less than $1000 in my substage I have about 4.5k on tap and enough electrical to back it all up, it's all going behind the second row of seats so I can still get my kid to hockey practice. I've built a couple enclosures and me and a couple buddy's will be doing this one i'm looking around 30 cubes with 450 inches of port space. Does this sound about right or should I go with a little more airspace and port space? Tuning will be around 34hz and all I really want to do is hairtricks for cheap.

Ive played with the Hfi 12s in sealed, ported, and bandpass. 4th order is the way to go.
