Still working on her! Got the engine all fixed up, just need to put my car on a frame straightening machine. (If that's what they even call them) Frame is a little bent in the front, and it caused everything to shift over a little bit...Straighten the frame, get a new front end and fender...throw some paint on, and she'll be good as new. Once it's all finished you can expect to see me finish building the box.

Well it won't be happening anymore. Mines the Expedition. Head on going 40.

Lol, yeah it's a nice program once you figure it out

Thank god. Someone said aim for 20inches of port area per foot earlier, so I'm sitting here for like an hour trying to design a box that would meet all of my requirements and i couldn't get it to add up right. lol I think I'm going shoot for 8-9 cubes at 34 hz

how much port area per foot should I be aiming for when designing this thing?

Is 12 cubes overkill for an 18 when trying to achieve max output?

Here's yet another idea. 8.08ft^3 tuned to 39.87 Hz. I've never heard an 18 tuned to 40 Hz. I want it to be loud. Is it suitable for daily driving or do you think 40 is too high? And regarding the bracing, it's going to be double .75 inch MDF all around.

Lol MDF isn't free

I don't care how it looks, just needs to sound good haha.

Love the look of kerfed ports. Very nice.

Here's another one I made. 8.94ft^3 @ 35.97 Hz - 105in^2 port area.

The gap between the back wall and the end of the port is equal to the width of the port (5.5 inches)

There's no particular reason for the port being there other than to make this easier to build lol. Should I move it?

I love this shit!

I have an RE Audio SX 18. I've heard rumors that this sub can do 2,000 watts RMS fairly easily in the right box. I currently have about 500 watts going to this sub in a 10ft^3 box tuned at around 30 Hz. It's pretty loud. I got pulled over a few days ago for having my music too loud and the officer said "Dude, you were shaking my car, what do you have back there?" Got off without a ticket . I wanted to step it up a notch so I just ordered a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1700.1D. Which does 1700 RMS @ 1 ohm. I designed a box with a net volume of 7.19ft^3 tuned to exactly 34 Hz. Sub up, port back. (My old box was sub back, port back.) For the record, this is going in a 2006 Expedition. The sub is rated for 1000 rms, and I want to push around 1300 to it. I want to this thing to be as loud as possible, will the box I designed impress me or do I need to go bigger? Thanks. Box uses double 3/4 inch MDF everywhere.
