the only problem i have with my subs are that their are no correct specs on line. I had msg Erik Harbour but this is what he gave me
Fo (Hz) 33
QMS 4.98
QES 0.87
QTS 0.82
VAS (Liters) 28.76
REVC (Ohms) 5.2 (series)
SPL @ 1 watt / 1 meter (dB) 88.9
X-max Linear pk-pk (mm) 28
LEVC at 1k Hz (mH) 1.9
ENCLOSURE VOLUME'S SEALED
Minimum sealed (Cu. Ft) 1.75
Fill Required (%) No
3dB down point (-3dB Hz) 41
Maximum sealed (Cu. Ft) 2.5
Fill Required (%) No
3dB down point (-3dB Hz) 38
ENCLOSURE VOLUME'S PORTED
7 ftcu.
PORT SIZE 15 x 5 x 11.75
tune to fit application custom 42 HZ decrease legnth to raise freq.
SEALED 3 ftcu.
Here is a photo of my new box. could some one help me with correct cubic feet.

ur gonna need to go bigger the total space there isn't enough for the 7 cubes each that they say they require... how do u like the kores? i have one sitting here that i haven't even used yet and i'm debating on tossing together a box for it to try it out, are u trying to build under the window line? ur box there is only showing around 7.5 cubes when i figured it out with 3/4 material all the way around and that is without taking out the port or sub displacement

The current box is tuned at 42hz, it hitting its highs and lows. I do have an extra 10" in the back though. the box would then reach from the back seat to the tail gate. i would have the get rid of the lip on each end or i will not be able to get it in the car.

ok then... leve it how it is if u did a 43 with the current box why don't u resin the box and round off the port corners and the top back corner of the box and see if that'll gain u anything... if u put the 2 18s in 7.5 cubes it'll probly be great for 40-45 hz and have nothing else just a burp box imo
from everywhere ive read the HK ma audio IS loud but sound terrible. and prob y your not getting the type of bass you want.
hows the bracing in the box???? i would say like ross resin inside. i would prob put a round aero port as big as you can go to reduce air turbulance and eddies.
also is that box just sitting in the trunk??? if so i would put 4 bolts through the box and the floor soo you can bolt it to the vehicle to make sure that it really doesnt move and loose energy
