As the summer is ready to hit very soon, I felt like I wanted to go for something different with stereo system. This time I'm trying to aim for four of either 10” CompVX or four of S10”L7 in a vented box. My biggest goal is to build a vented box that'll be able to create deeper bass (maybe as low as 30Hz if possible). I've never heard of CompVX playing music in real life and I have no bright idea what it sounds like; so I probably need your help with that, haha. What kind of design do you have in mind for me? I had a thought about having all of 10” subwoofers facing upward with vented (open-hole) facing toward driver/passenger side. I prefer to go with either VX or L7 that will offer best deep bass for my taste. Thanks.

I would try this design. Subs mounted vertically port up. By inverting the subs you will keep the airspace normally lost by sub displacement. I used your dimensions as external. This should leave 4.0 cubes per chamber. The port should be 18"Wx3"Hx50"L for 25Hz tuning. Should play everything and the rollof below tuning is very shallow.

If you really want to tune low effectively, pick a sub with a FS lower than what u want to tune to. Tuning below fs can be trouble.
Those Kickers are around 33hz
