Help with BL 18" box

[lostcreeker 0]

I haven't built it yet I am just exploring options and found a design I kind of like.

8 cu. ft. tuned to 34 hz with 101.25 square inches of port. The port opening will be 4.5 " wide and 21.5" long. The box dimensions are 33x24x27.5 overall. It will be a crx style box , and will go inside of the cab of a 2000 chevy silverado. I plan on pointing the port towards the driver's side and have the sub behind the passengers seat.

Do these specs seem alright to everyone? Would a different direction with the ports yield better results? Does that tuning seem alright or should I go lower/ higher? I want SPL but also enjoy the low notes that a highly tuned box sometimes lack. If anyone has construct a similar box, were you satisfied with the results? Thanks in advance for any help that you may be able to offer.

Sounds pretty good. I might be willing to give it a bit more port area, but unless someone else with more experience on the direction of port/subs has something to add, it sounds like it'll be good. I like my 34-35hz tuning. Still sounds great on the lows, but a lot of people seem pretty happy tuned around 32hz. It'll be retardedly loud either way you tune it, but I think your current plans should be fine- its your call.

Good luck!
