Well I already have a shiva in a sealed 1cuft box that I'm running 600 watts to... but I just got some extra spending cash for xmas. :p I wanna purchase a second shiva, and I feel like going ported. First question: I think I have the older non-mark IV shiva. I can't remember which one I got, but I got it around 12-13 months ago. Was the Mark IV already released around then? Second question: If it is an older version of the shiva, I'm assuming it wouldn't sound too great to buy a single new one and add them together? How bad? :p Third question: I gotta reserve some trunk space cause I travel back and forth from college to home a whole lot. Is it possible to get a good combo of SQ and SPL from a dual shiva ported box that doesn't go over around 2-2.5cuft? I want it tuned pretty low (in the 20s) I think. If I made it downfiring it'd save a little bit more room horizontally. What does everyone think?

 
I answered a bunch of my own questions and narrowed my options down. I wanna save some of the money I got for christmas, so I would prefer to be able to just get a ported box for my current shiva. It's a little more sensible now, and i still want to keep it around 2cuft or less. I wanna retain some SQ but add to the SPL a little. How low can I get it tuned? Benefits to tuning lower or higher than 25hz? Any increased danger of overpowering the sub ported at 600wrms? I could rewire it down to 300wrms but that doesn't seem very "fun." :p Last point of pondering: my am doesn't have a subsonic filter... ported, I assume that would be smart to purchase?
