[QUOTE="shredder2, post: 8742659, member: 674047"] Just a fyi, and maybe I don't understand the install but with a 10.25" ID port I would keep it 15.5" long for min internal clearance. Quick and dirty that'll put you in the 35hz range but the proximity of the port entry to the bottom panel MIGHT just lower your tune a hair. I wouldn't go longer than 15.5" overall if it was me. As stated above the volume you THINK you have may be a bit less than you actually have (and that will affect tuning), and the fact that your throwing it in a trunk, subs up/port up... I suppose looking for trunk lid flex. Just handicaps it from the get. Russian birch at 11/16" thick might buy you a bit more volume and be superior strength-wise but nobody wants to pay anymore. Any bracing you'll add from here on out will raise tuning so keep that in mind. So stick to dowels and danger cut 45s if used. [/QUOTE]
