Increase port area, about 120 sq. inches is the largest I would go though.

You'll want to make the port 5" x 24" x 30" long for your 120 sq inches and a tuning of 34 HZ.

Do those 18s really like having only 3.7 cubes per sub? If you increase the box size the system will become more efficient.

with the new box it will be 4 cubes per sub after all dissplacments and right now they are at 3.7 or 3.8 cube thats why im building the new box this was my first box and some how i did not include the .60 displacment for the subs

What size does the manufacturer recommend? I've never seen an 18" recommended for less than 5 cubes per sub.
