Need help with a new box for my 18" BTL

[Nickleahy23 0]

whats up guys? Havent been on here in a while...

Im running a Kicker kx2500.1 on a 18" Btl. The sub is a few years old, triple stack magnet, cooling, pchamfer etc..dual 2 ohm.

It is in the back of my 2001 tahoe right now. I have a box, but it looks like crap and I need a new one.

What would you feel would be a decent size and tuning? I listen to mostly rap, love when it hits super low and moves some air. I think my box is tuned around 34 hz right now. Could I go lower for daily? Would i be ok doin sub and port facing back?

heres the box I have it in now, the port comes out on the top left. It was built for my last truck, so the port location isnt ideal..

let me know what you guys think. I want to keep it fairly simple, sub back, port back with a slot port. I carry a bunch of stuff around so im always throwin stuff on top of the box so sub on top wouldnt work too well. I want to keep it the full width because it stays in place pretty decent.

the current box is 48x24x22 so its 12.4 cubes before subtracting sub and port..I would go smaller if I could to get the best sound.

im thinking of going 48x22x17 which puts me at 8.5 cubes, I want to do removable port. If i make the port 7x7 at 9.4 deep that gives me 32 hz for daily. I could then build a few other ports...What other ports should I make for daily?
