the biggest enclosure i can fit for 2 12" ses is 3.42 cubes at 32.5 hz. will that sound right or damage the subs? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

consider going with a sealed.. I just installed 2 12" SE's in a 1.5 sealed and they are nice... REALLY NICE

first off im a noob, so i am posting this as a question as much as an answer cause i wanna learn.

first, 1.8x2=3.6 you have 3.4. That isnt a major difference, but what if you used some polyfil to add some "volume" I know it works in sealed boxes, but i dont know about ported. Good luck, and hope i learn something

No

To elaborate Squeak's answer, the purpose of a ported box is to get that back wave from inside the box to outside the box with some fancy timing thanks to port length. Polyfill is meant to basically absorb / destroy the back wave and kill any interference it causes with the new front waves in a sealed box. You put them together, the polyfill kills the backwave so it never gets out the port, and you have something pretty awful.

You could try painting / resoning the inside of your box's port walls, and using putty / triangle blocks to round off inside corners of your ported box.. Less resistance and dead pressure zones means more of the backwave gets out the box.

My $0.02. Waiting for someone to smash my logic to bits. Go.
