What type of music you listen to?

What kind of subs are they?

If he builds the box to those dimensions, you will have roughly 10 cubes. That is waaaay too big for those subs. You should be looking for around 6.5-7 cubes, and I would tune to 32hz

10^3' is way to big! I run mine at 7^3' tuned to 35HZ. With your rap listening I would recommend between 30-33hz tuning.

Power handling goes down, subs can sound loose and muddy, subs can unload, etc. etc. etc.

Try the12volt.com cause they have a good little calc on there. You can also try the RE calc as it has a ton more info about box specs.

Not quite following you! Straight up and down? As in 1 woofer on top of the other on the same panel facing forward?
