i'm slowly getting my s10 to be the sql machine i want it to be. i've got the front stage just about where i really want it, and now it's time to rebuild the blowthrough box.

so, i have the external dimensions on 32" wide, 13.5" tall, and up to 24" deep to work with. subs are 2 12" IDMAXd4's.

i could easily build another vented box, lower the tuning a bit (currently have mine tuned to just under 32hz), and give it a larger port. but i've heard that a good 4th order box can get just as loud, if not louder, and cover a wider range with better gain. my only problem? i have no ****ing clue how to plan out a bandpass box.

so, anyone want to tell me which would be able to throw the best numbers spl wise (i still get the itch every now and again), and be the overall most efficient?

audax tweets and tangband 5.25's in the kicks

2 IDMAX12d4.v3's in 4.7 cubes, tuned ~32hz
0/1 guage everywhere... and a lanzar opticap1000 at 16v to shake things up a bit.
