what to do wtih 12 cubic feet?


so i need a system in the new winter beater and i have 12 cubic feet to play with and that includes the thickness of the walls(3/4") but does not include a port if i decide to go with a ported box

ill be running a Hifonics BX1000D(1ohm stable) unless i find a better amp for a decent price and probably a alpine HU

was thinking of running 4 12" kicker comp VRs as i can get them for jsut under $400 or i can build a bigger box for my current 2 12" audiobahn AW1206Ts(hit 141.7DB on TL) but my buddy wants my audiobahns so i might sell them and purchase something else or i have a 15" RE SX sitting in my room that needs a recone($150 ish for kit and to pay someone to do it)

and for box designs, it will be in a SUV and ive never built a system for a SUV...is it better to have the subs firing into the sky? towards the tails? if they fire into the sky where would the port go etc?
