Type R slotted box design help

Hi Guys,

I want to build 2 boxes for my Alpine type R (4 ohm). I would like to have them each in there own separate box just because of where I want to mount them in my car. I want to make a slotted design. I was also wondering if it is possible to mount these subwoofers inverted?

does any body have any input? I have a basic idea for the size of the box from the Alpine specs. I am just wondering about the slot. How big, how deep, etc. I am interesting in a cross section of the box and how far the slot goes down and the dimensions.
Also does any body have any idea if they would sound any good inverted?
