Enclosure Question

[GMC904]

I'm going to build a custom enclosure for my 2 JL 10w3v3s. I have a 23 Jeep Wrangler with the sky one touch top. I currently have the subs in a sealed pre-fab box that has .8 cuft per sub. I am thinking about building a ported enclosure with the subs downfiring with 1.25 cuft per sub. Should I have the slot port also downfiring or rear? This is my first convertible and I didn't realize how much it effected the bass lol. My amp is a Rockford Power T1000 1bdcp, wiring to 4ohms.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in and correct me but I believe a bandpass box is the best thing in a convertible since the sound waves don't need to load off the trunk, roof, etc to get loud.

Downfire subs and port. A bandpass box would work very well, but they aren’t cheap to have made custom. A horn or t-line would work even better with the open top vehicles, but they’re huge boxes.

Have you considered under seat options? https://www.bing.com/search?q=under...0218DC806086C34C6DC&FORM=QBRE&sp=1&ghc=1&lq=0

In the 4xe model, the hybrid battery is under the seat.

I started building a downfiring ported enclosure yesterday. Tuning it to 30hz.
