What box dimensions would be best for the Alpine SWR-12D4 sub?

[hutt132 10+ year member]

I have a 2006 Acura TL and want to install this sub in the trunk. I like to mostly listen to electronic/dubstep, but also hip-hop/rap. Are there recommended design plans available for a ported box? I googled a bit and found a couple, but I don't know which ones are the best.

Also, what's the difference between the 2ohm and 4ohm version of this sub? Such as sound clarity or loudness. If there isn't a difference I'll just get the 2ohm version since I don't have to pay as much for a 4ohm amp to power it.

Id run that sub in approx 2.4-2.6 cu ft @ approx.34-36 htz for a trunk install.Id also get a DVC 4 Ohm and run @2 ohms on an amp(2 ohm stable) to be a bit easier on the electrical of the vehicle..Just my opinion

And I wire it like this?

Since this DVC 4ohm sub is 1000watt RMS, would an amp running 1000watts at 2ohms be good?

My trunk allows for a box 16" height and 30" width. I downloaded Torres Tuning Calculator, but I don't know what to enter in for all the dimensions.

I found this video with dimensions for a 2.5 cu ft @ 34Hz:


Would that be good?
