Paul's new box and amp rack
I remember in another forum someone was taking about this Q thing. After a bunch of big words and intense theories, it stood that you should leave it as 0
BTW, you need to burn me a copy of this program and send it to me via canadian post because i really wanna try out this program

So I changed things a little, here's what I'm going to build .... box will now be 18.75" x 48" x 15.5". 4.5 cubes after port, bracing, etc. tuned to 30 hz. Port will be 14" x 4" x 33.36". Decided to use JL port area specs ... 
... we'll have to see how it sounds. I can always build another one. 
Here's the new Sketchup.
The graphs are almost identical. The port is a little larger and some extra bracing. That's about it.
Should I install with port on driver or passenger side?

Unfortunately, I don't have any more room than those dimensions. I can't even go bigger in port area without going over max dimensions. 
I could change it so they all fire in the same direction against the hatch or forward. Basically subs and port on the side of the box in any direction. What would the best direction be? Forward, Up, or backward. What is the optimum direction when your pretty much stuck with this design?
I thought about 2 6" flared ports but they had to be 34" (I think it was..) each. Way too big to fit in the box.

34 inches long? something is definately wrong unless u want to tune it to 10 hz.
2 six inch ports in a 4.5 cube box should not be any longer than 22-23 inches to be tuned into the 30's.
which way is the best to fire, that's something u find out on the mic. probably up or forward is my guess.

[QUOTEtry using wooden dowel instead of 2X4, takes up less space and is round and smooth better air flow[/QUOTE]
why not use 3/8" threaded rod and nut/washer it on the outside of the box, its small, takes up no space in the box and its round as to not disrupt the airflow

I'm playing with the options right now. I tried the 2 6" ports in BassBox again and it still says 2 - 6" ports with double flared ends is 34.32" each at 30 hz 4.5 cubes? No idea why?? I'm starting to think BassBox is taking me for a ride.
The closest I got 2-6" ports that were 24" in length was 4.6 cubes @ around 34hz? Any smaller enclosure or lower tuning and the port length seems to jump quickly the lower I go frequency wise.
