i'd make the hole around the same size, as the front of the box you'll build.

what about a hole a couple of inches larger than the port on my box i think it could work because the box is going to sit about 10 inches away from the hole in the bed and yes it will be sealed from the airspace in the bed let me know what you think

I would say Size of the box. You want the sound of the subs and port to come threw. Will sound better that way and you can make it look nice.

you also will probably want to deaden the crap out of the box of the truck. unless you seal the subs off from the rear. tonneau cover or topper?

yes two w3s i love me some jl i do have a tonenu cover on bed it is fiberglass one but i still plan on sealing the box from the bed and vent into cab after all it"s only getting 500 watts. im not running 4 12 with 4 1000 watt amps it's just 2 12s with a 500/1i was going for a space saver so people can sit in the truck because right now it's only a 3 seater and it can fit six people so you say the same size as the box but am i wrong or dosen't all of the air flow come from the port in a ported box

why not design a downfired, false floor design. or get you an 8w7 in a small ported box. cutting a blowthrough for your system doesn't make much sense to me. many other options, especially if you aren't competing.
