Hey... im new here.. im looking for somone that is great with designing boxes. i have 4 12" dd 2500's... i want to go for maximum spl but still sound good on music. i would say somewhere around 40 hertz tunning.... i have a lot of space to work with so it can be a pretty big box... if you can help just let me know...

14-16 square inches of port per cubic foot of box volume and make the port about 16" long. TUnes pretty close to 40 HZ. I would do 8-9 cubes for 4 12"s.

yea.. i actually have them in a box exactly like that... only problem is it isnt much louder than 144 db's....the guy i bought them from had them in a wall and hit 153 db... i have read many places people hitting higher numbers, like the 50's... someone had 2 of them in a 7 cubic ft box with 140 sq inch of port tuned to 45 hertz... hit 149 db... if i put them in a big box ( roughly 3-3.5 cu ft per sub) and have lots of port area tuned high would i be able to get those loud numbers.??

go 9 cubes with 180in.^2 and give them a little more then rated power.

with 4 12s a 150 shouldnt be too hard. What are you using for power?
