Xxx 15 Box

I was wondering if I could get some advice on a box for my RE XXX 15” it will be seeing about 1200watts RMS from an Orion 1200D. I wanted to build a ported box but im not sure what size or what tuning frequency to use. I listen to a variety of different kinds of music but many of it has fast hard hitting beats such as trance, drums and bass, as well as some punk and heavy metal, with a little bit of rap thrown in, I was thinking of tuning it at 30herz.. does anyone have any plans i could use?

hmm, i think i have run into a problem.. i can only make the box a maximum of the following dimensions: 36" x 16" x 15" the box generator i was using wont work right with a box that small.. does anyone have plans similar to that size for a ported box?

you are either going to have to find a way to make a bigger box or but it in a sealed box
