Plan the box with the tuning you want first. You'll be able to use the space more efficiently with sub & port up. You'll probably be able to use a longer port length for a lower tuning also. "Only" 2 12's on 6k lol, that'll be loud.

What subs? What tuning? What's the max. dimensions you can use? You could probably stuff 2 ported 15's in that all upfire.

If you can fit 3-4 15's than do 2 BTL 18's in 12-16 cubes on 4k. Save weight, more cone area, probably louder & lower. What are the dimensions under the window line?
