Box design help

[Kwahl]

I have 2 old solo x 18 subs and need help with correct dimensions for a proper enclosure. I have an 02 Tahoe, 4door, and willing to use any space needed. Will be running about 3k to each and any advice on the set up would be greatly appreciated.

I've played with solo Xs. they dont actually need huge enclosures like one would assume. kick say 10 cubes but I like 8.5 tuned to 35. if you want a lowend monster 10 tuned to 30 is idea but its going to be much more rounded in the 8.5. dont be scared to use 200in^2 or port area too!

Wall it.

You'll want 16-20 cube net airspace, minimum 240 square inches of port area, and I'd personally tune no lower than 38hz. They will get LOUD in a big box tuned high-ish.

38Hz?? I'm guessing they don't like to play really low notes?

The ones I played with absolutely crushed it around 50hz. They may do well tuned lower but it's not like you'll need to tune low to control the cone with those on so little power and tuning high will definitely be louder and more meter friendly.
