my console/sub box build
You need more port. And I dont know what your tuning freq is but it looks like its gonna be quite high with ~1 cuft per and not a very long port.
how big should they be then? each port is 3in wide. as far as the tuning freq any help would be great, i dont know much about that so i was just going to get a friend help with that part
It can be remedied, but you have difficult space constraints.

Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the
“template” inside your CompVX’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the
line. These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger
unsupported panels. See Figure 4.
All the cubic feet (L) measurements in this manual include the displacement of the woofer. For the
vented enclosures the displacement of the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume of
the final design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply “X x Y x Z”, convert to cubic feet, for
example the CVX12 vented compact design’s external port dimensions are, using 3/4” (1.9cm) MDF:
[ (2.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x (12.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x 20”] x (1 ft3 / 1728
in3) = .65 ft3, and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, CVX12’s 1.75 ft3 + .65 ft3 =
2.40 ft3. See Figure 5. Due to the necessary length of these ports, you may want to fold the port along
the bottom and back walls. It will be impractical to use round ports for these designs.
Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back-panel or trunk wall,
seat or interior panel of your vehicle. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest
dimension of the rectangular port as the minimum amount of space between the port opening and any
solid surface to insure unrestricted airflow

alright finally a good update. i finished up the bin and sanded down the edges then i laid the fleece on it and resined the fleece. waiting for the resin to dry right now so hopefully ill start laying the fiberglass later tonight or tomorrow




trust me man its killing me to have these subs sitting in my room not being used but time to work on it is so hard to find haha yea i looked at the links. i mean i did all the airspace right according to kicker then asked this other guy i know who builds boxes for a living about the size of the ports and he said i should be alright. kinda hard to change it now anyway haha
alright to start off sorry this took so long to update it now that summer is over im ready to finish it up asap. summer was crazy busy working 2 jobs. the one week i took off work to work on the box i ended up getting shingles! haha the dr didnt even understand why i got them. but its finally all glassed and the bondo is just about done, should be done sometime this week then i can finally paint it and hook it up. keep posted it should be ready very soon!
