Finally got my box built and tuned how I like it. These subs sound damn good! I had one of those “I wAnNa DesIgN mY oWn boX 🥴” moments just because I’ve never done it before. My goal was 4 cubes net @ 32 hz. Port is 4”x13.5”x29.25”. I was pretty disappointed when I first hooked them up. They sounded loud, but punchy and they emphasized the higher frequencies… if that makes sense. I like loud, but I don’t care for higher frequencies so I pulled them out and extended the port 9”; so with the longer port and less net volume I have no clue what their tuned to now 🤦🏻‍♂️. BUT they sound great now! Not as loud, but way more accurate. They get down, and the low frequencies have some authority now. So I’m pleased.

Tuning as low as PE suggests will problematic (long port) unless you go with a passive radiator.
