Written down for my next testing session. Thanks !

The next box I want to try is something similar to this (Yuli originally posted this box, credits go to him):

Keeping the volume at 3CF and using the 10" aero.

hey buddy

based on my observations/experience:

car shape/angle of the back door kills the score, maybe a NW style box would work,

Today I tried a HUGE box, sort of similar to ssnw.
6 cf, it was an old box for a 15, tuned at 49hz. Previous boxes were tuned higher, this was just the first test. It only scored 142.4dB at 54hz and 146.0dB at 46hz so I see it as a BUST. Maybe the heat got to me but I suspect that 6 cubes is way too much.

The box is just as wide as the trunk, it sat right between the shock towers.
Here it is next to the 2.1 cf box:

Panda's have a similar hatch shape, I think this car is plotting against me...

You tested 3 cubes in a slot port ? I know you did with a aero port...

Haven't tried slot, worth a try even though it's way more difficult to test and tune than a round port
