Maybe I was on the short bus but I’m still trying to figure out which way subs/port face 😔The front of the box will rest directly on the transmission hump and I’ll build some legs to elevate the rear.
The flare does make a difference on round ports with port turbulence. You might not hear port noise in a downfired box anyway, but I’ve become picky about flaring round ports. I have a 1.5 inch roundover and I do the flares on the inside and outside of the box. Even just removing the sharp edges with your half inch round over is a good idea. I like big flares on my round ports so I can do less port area and still avoid unwanted noise.I made the total height a little taller so I can space these ports a little more and they should clear the back seat. I’m gonna flare them at least for the looks lol. This is with a 1/2” roundover.
If the ports end up being an inch away from the sidewalls, is that gonna change the tuning? Or should I try to get them further away? They’ll be plenty far away from the front wall
This is the best picture I could do lol. I know the subs are lopsided hehe
Yeah. It has to be multiple layers of MDF or it will just eat all the way through.A 1-1/2” roundover probably makes it like a real Aeroport huh? Do you use a couple layers of Mdf for that?

I got the bottom, front/top corner, and back/port sections cut and glued. Just need to glue all that together and then the sides on.
Anybody have pictures showing how to mount from seat bolt to box? I’m thinking some 1-1/4” bar stock and bend to fit.
Yea mdf is heavy. Birch is better weight wise but mdf routes so much better and takes paint/coating better.Thanks. I bet aluminum will do great, good call.
Didn’t really consider until today how heavy this thing is gonna be but I think it’s gonna be pushing 170-180 lbs with subs.
