Box install for Dakota Club Cab

so i am beginning to really think about how i am going to install a box in a 97-03 dakota club cab. i have 2 15" L7's and i currently am running a 6.9 cu. ft box. A LOT more room for potential.. currently i have planned a 13 cu. ft box for these babies. i have the dimensions all worked out and everything however, i want to know whether or not i should be tuning this box to a higher or lower frequency. I love low bass, but i also love it loud, my current box is tuned to 36 hz and its nice i love it, but i do not have much experience with in cab boxes so basically what i am asking is, what are peoples experiences with in cab boxes, how different they sound compared to in trunk or behind second row seats? i dont no if this really makes any sense but we'll see with your replies. oh an btw the box i have designed is currently set at 33 hz. thanks

i will correct myself, 13 cu. ft before displacement ** and i know two guys with 15" l7's in 13. cube boxes and they sound RANK! rank good i mean. lol. and kicker offers a design for 2 15" l7's in a 13 cube box. so maybe its big, but its not too big. it has been done, and it will be done more.
