4 Rockford T2's Need Help Box Specs

Hello there world, I have been rather serious about sound systems for awhile now, and I have recently purchased 4 T212d4 Subwoofers as well as 2 T2001BD amps, I need a box to hold these bad boys, Size isn't really a problem, I was planning on removing the backseat of my Extended cab Chev. I don't have these subs yet and I dont know how much volume I will need.. I don't know much really.. I could pay someone to make me a box but I would rather do it myself. If any of you would be nice enough to assist me with this, I would appreciate it. Im assuming just building one large box would be best.. but I don't know about ports.. if anyone could help me.. possibly give me a diagram.. Thanks guys.. I will be sure to give you some pictures of my setup soon!

just took my back seat out tonight measured up, with some space around each end I had an area of 59 long 22 deep and 22 high ( only as high up to the seat) came out to 13.5 cubes of room for a max size I would use, not saying my box will be that big.

i also have a 93 EXT.

Thanks alot for the advice.. Im somewhat unsure how you guys came to your calculations.. I get a dif ammount of cubic feet than you guys. For this box I get 13.27 cubic feet. Then I need to factor in sub volume which is .93^ft. Then how ever much my port will displace. Will a port like the one in my picture work? Thanks again guys, so far I have 2 subs and 1 amp. Still waitin on the other half.

Ok I have been doing alot of research, and I have come up with a box. I used WinISD to get port length. I am getting the rest of my subs tomorrow and I want to get this box built but im still unsure about a few things.. I will post a pic of the box I am planning on building. I need some help with bracing the box. Any input would be muchly appreciated.

I have built/designed 50 or so enclosures for the 12" T2 subs...

I would go no bigger than 2.25cf3 per sub plus sub and
port dissplacement....
I would also make seperate cavities (2 subs in each)
and tune them between 33hz and 35hz

here is a pic of one of my T2 designs...it hits like a Mother F***** and
the body flex is insane

Thats what I like to hear!!!

Well if my math is correct I should have just over 2^ft per sub I could go bigger tho. 33-35hz eh.. I will adjust the port for a 33hz tune then. Thanks buddy, by the way thats an awesome looking box.

3.12 cubic feet gross per sub is ideal for a box that will go hard. So, you are right on track with your box size.
