HO alt
Kinetik 1800
0g wire
BIG 3
300 amp fuse (over kill i know)

just last year i entered my first comp and fell in love with the scene. ive built plenty of boxes but am really confused whe it comes to spl boxes. i notice more and more people using tiny boxes and large flared ports, where as everything you read about says bigger is better. im still doing solid 142s in my boxes (all about 3-5cubes tuned between 30 and 35hz) which sound amazin.

would i benefit by making a smaller box for competing? lets say 2cubes total, external 6inch ports tuned to 53hz?

any help is appreciated and im sure my wife would be happy to know this will be the last box im building for a while.
let's help this guy here.

what class are you trying to be in? let's start there.

if you want to do street stock (can place box on back seats if they fold) then you have plenty of options.

doesnt matter, who ever judged you did it wrong.

you are in Street Stock B, that's where you fit with your set up, you can be competative in that category for sure.

amps dont need to be strappable in Street STock, and you are allowed 2 batteries in Street Stock B.

I have a siimple but effective box idea for you if you wanna put it on top of your folded seats.

by the rules you are allowed 4 conductors in Street Stock B, which means you do not have to strap your amps unless you want to.
