need help with box dimensions for kicker l5 15

[Kyle Williams]

first off, its a kicker l5 15,the 2008 model. It will be ran at 1 ohm i need help choosing a sealed or ported box. i have no trunk room so its going to end up in the back seat, i want to hit the lows, not so much the highs.my opinion with ported boxes is they are louder but,the spl isn't great at all. if i can get a ported box big enough to hit the lows then i will chose ported. my questine is,could i have a ported box big enough to hit around 26htz that will be louder than a sealed box. also the old box i had was sealed and it shakes the crap out of everything, i would like it to be loud and not lose the vibration power to if that makes any sense.

It will play low and loud just fine. SPL is almost always higher in ported enclosures. Just be sure it is properly built and tuned.

4ft^3 at 32hz will work good. You can tune lower if you listen to really low stuff, like chopped and screwed music, but 30-32hz will cover pretty much anything you throw at it, music wise.

4.5-6^3 is going to be your loudest, with more deep/subsonic output closer to 6^3 you can give

A noob with that sub in 6 cubes is asking for trouble. He'll probably kill the sub in a week do to bottoming out.
