Walls
If the longer a wave travels the lower the bass reproduction, what happends with a wall, do you completely lose the low end or is it amplified because there's less air to move? Is 2400W too much power for a BTL 18 in a 10 cube wall @ 37hz? How's this box look, would it have decent lows for daily? My last tuning was 37hz but it was a 12" in a trunk on 1500W, I eventually wanted a lower tune because it missed the lowlows pretty bad. How much space do wires generally take up?
w 55" * h 28" * d 17.23" * 1" mdf * port width 6.15"
Port area 159.9
Volume 10.261
15.98 square inches of port per cube
BTL displacement .26
Tuning 36.95hz

Which side should the port go on? Would it get louder if the port was on the passenger side and the passenger seat was folded down? If it was on the drivers side would I be hearing port noise?

You drive it daily though, don't you Joel? Doesn't having tuning that high bug you when listening to lower tuned songs?
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I will make 2 boxes for the marquis. 1 for daily and one for comps. There really isn't a good compromise. Not if you really like the lows and don't have LARGE power to make it meter loud.

Daily. Curious because the airspace is usually .001-5 cubes over the needed, wondering if it'll make it exact, not that it matters. 3500W in 9 cubes seems like a lot for a BTL! I want something that'll pound 30-40hz so 35hz is the goal tune. I'm thinking of selling the damn thing to buy a GTI or Focus hatch.
