Are you sure I should be going 3.7 cubic foot? It says in the little paper that came with it to go 1.3 cubic foot each, so would going with the larger size give me more DB's?

Ok, I think I got my basic setup down
I used Subwoofer Enclosure Calculators, Fraction to Decimal, Parallel, Series, Port Length and Volume Calculators
I'm going to try and draw up a schematic now.
1.7 cubic feet per chamber gross, 1.3 cubic foot per chamber net after subtracting port space without subwoofer installed.
Now is the time that I can easily make changes, so what is the general consensus on a box tuned to 32 hertz? Is it a good balance of loudness and sound quality?

Now all I have to do is double up the bottom and top plate length and add in 1.5 inches (I'll have two piece thick divider between, so 0.75 + 0.75). Should work out pretty well, what do you guys think? I will mirror the boxes obviously for symmetry

How do you guys cut your MDF? I assume most of you own power tools, anyone have any good reviews from getting it cut by a person at home depot/rona?
Or anyone know where I can rent a table saw?

Too small in my opinion for an SUV you have the room go bigger.
