tru dat, you'd have to do a mock up of the front to see if it would work...

I like the idea of the porting up and removing the rear deck speakers....

sub up port up?

If i did side port how much room should i give it between box side and trunk side? I was originally gonna do as wide as i could so it could get maximum cuft

bump for more opinions

Wire is already ran... Its 16 inches from bottom of amp on the rear deck to the trunk floor... .. Will the Aero's really work better than a standard Slot vent? Whats wrong with raptor? I know is a lil small but not a huge difference between it and the Knu KLM my homie ordered.. plus I have like 50ft of it as well as 40ft of the "4ga" and all sorts of ring terms and stuff that came with it

I just don't like it at all. I just se too many shops charging full price for small gauge wire with lots of insulation. The 4-gauge is actually closer to 8 and the 1/0 they sell is small enough to fit in my amp's 4-gauge terminals.

But I'm sure it's not enough to worry about since it's already been run.

I have enough for a 2nd run, if needed...

So far we got Sub up and port sideways....

any other reccomendations.. I'd really like to hear from thers with 145+DB trunk cars

All the people that I know who are doing 145+ from a trunk have the woofer firing forward and the port either firing forward or firing to the side.

You'll be a new experiment since you cant fit the woofer forward. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol ok man.. check this... Sub up port firing into cabin, with massive port area.. like 34"W x??T at about 40 hz .. seats folded down 90% of time...

Well, design is something that you would have to work on.
I'm not entirely too familiar with 18's myself, I've worked with 10's, 12's, and 15's strictly.

I know the 18" will like a larger box, probably around 5 cubes or so, and I would do aeroports for ease of tuning and tweaking, and for efficient airflow. An 18" would probably require 4-5 4" aeroports. 4 should suffice.

Sideways firing ports have worked VERY well in all the trunk cars that i've built competitive setups for.

gonna have to agree with tommy here. i had 2 tc9 10s in the trunk of my 96 monte carlo. first subs up port back, then i tried subs up port to the right with box shoved to the left. just by ear it SOUNDED like a 1-1.5db gain, never metered though. i almost shit myself lol

wellsir I guess I can test this out.. bump for more suggestions

naturally i dont want it 34in tall, but thats measurements of the box I want standing on its side.. and if i was to move the port from the "top" to the 14" side all the tuning would stay the same bc its the same box volume and port deminsions right.. so I could run one LONG and skinny slot port to maintain as muc internal volume as possible..

any opinions on this thought? I am in serios discussion with my box builder ATM, and we almost have it decided

no on the port idea use aero's when these guys tell you how to get loud listen i guarentee it will work if they tell you it will
