If you're going with one of the subs you listed you only have enough power for one sub. The Q would be the best with the power you have available. As was already said, find out how much room you have to work with and get the biggest one you can fit a proper enclosure for.

Just measure all the space you're willing to give up (length x width x height) and from there we can figure how many square feet you have. If you have basic woodworking skills making a box isn't too hard. If you decide to go ported I'd have someone design it for you so you can get the port right though.

 

[farmerehsan 10+ year member]

yes i def want ported it sounds better correct? ok im going out there to measure brb

 

[farmerehsan 10+ year member]

2 ft by 3 ft by 1 1/2 ft

It can sound better but generally sealed sounds better. Ported is definately louder though.

 

[farmerehsan 10+ year member]

ported is the way for me.... those are my sizes up there.. less would be cool to

 

[BobbyDD 10+ year member]

2 ft by 3 ft by 1 1/2 ft

That's 9 cubic feet before sub, port and wood displacement. I'm not an expert on designing boxes so i'll let someone else chime in on whether that's enough room to port a Q or not.

if i can ddo the lowest cubic feet that would work? and how do u tune a box lol?

The size of the port in relation to the size of the box is what determines the tuning. To tune low like you need to do with the Q on a box that big requires a big port which you have to subtract from your 9 cubic feet.

how to i get ecaxt specification to build the box?
