thinking about building a folded horn need opinions

hey i'm looking to build a folded horn with 2 15" kicker l7's powered by a orion 2100 hcca. so my question is would this design be good enough, i don't really care about competing, i just wanna be loud. any input on a type of box would be appricated. kinda along the lines of this

Works awesome in your living room, not so much in your car. You're better off with a large vented box.

I built one of these not to long ago, had some clarion 10's in it, and like Dukk has mentioned, its not great for a car, it was in a SUV that I built it, and some notes it could make your nose bleed, and most notes were just not impressive at al.

Looks great, have you tried a transmission-line cabinet? If you have this much space to work with, a T-line will do wonders in a car..,and home.
Try to round off any sharp corners/angles.

its going in the box of an s10 using a cut through, i'm just trying to gather ideas from people on here, and through the other thread on here about cut through's, and try something different box design wise. i've looked at decwares house wreaker fairly simple box and i could iso the 2 15's in it, and im sure it would get loud, its just a little big

That's old school Paul. Almost built one 8 years ago but did a wall instead.

A t line box would be good to build, but once again it. would be huge,
Even though it is a cut through, it wouldn't ideally work because the port would have yo exit side to get full use of a t line. I would think a simple ported box to spec for two 15s would be best,
I. remember a couple years ago, a buddy built a 6cft box , for a 15" l7 single and fed it 1200rms, I was impressed it was very tonal, on a b/ow thru ranger
