18" BL Box Size

[hayes55987 0]

Hey guys, i have a question about box size for the BL. I have an 18" BL fully loaded and its going to be going into the trunk of a 1995 Honda Accord Sedan. Currently, the box is mounted horizontally because I needed to do that to get the minimum size of 5 cu ft. However, after taking up the entire trunk in my car and having the subwooferer horizontal. I'm wondering what the minimum size you guys could see? I'm hoping to still keep it ported somewhat low...at around 32hz or so. I realize this goes against all of hoffman's Iron Law and what not, but what are your guys best ideas for this? I'll sum it up for you:

Current Box:

Subwoofer mounted horizontal

5 cu ft box @ 29Hz

Ports Back

Wishes for new Box:

Subwoofer mounted vertically

? cu ft box @ 35Hz or lower

Ports facing same was as subwoofer

Dimesnsions I have to work with

32" Wide

18" High

30" Deep (However, I need this to be somewhat short because with the height being so close, for it to drop in it needs to be as short as possible. All others though can be as wide as needed)

Now that i read this though, it seems sort of stupid because i could just make it as short as needed, the max the rest of the dimensions. However, Mainly I guess then how small of cu ft do you think I can get away with??

thanks!
