External ports work fine...why do you need examples?

winisd is giving me a box of .43 cuft and a 4" port with length of 70.79" that seems kinda long to me but what do i know. Hence why I would like a example.

Why are you using a 4" port for an 8" sub?

one 4" port is to big for that small of a box bro....

Why are you using a 4" port for an 8" sub? What sub are you using?

sa-8

you can get away with a **** 2" port with only one 8" driver

.43ft^3 is too small anyways, unless you're building a burp box and plan on throwing a lot of power at at. Shoot for .6-.75ft^3 with a 33-35hz tuning. A single 3" aero will be more than enough. Are you sure .43ft^3 is all you can fit in your install?

thats just a example of what winisd is giving I do realize 4" is useless for a every day use enclosure it was just a example thats all. I could have a total of about 2 cuft max but it is going to be a shallow box. Here is a example of what its going to look like https://cid-912d0d066b6c4ee5.photos.live.com/self.aspx/Album/IMG%5E_0417.JPG

What vehicle? What kind of dimensions are you working with?

It is for a 2010 tundra double cab, under rear seat not much space back there

No I do not nothing at the moment I have a old audio art 100hc amp and a audio control lc6i still piecing things together. I could keep it simple and just go with 2 sealed 10" shallow subs but I dont think they have the output im looking for.
