Ok, The rear opening of my fold down seats is about 29" and with the 2 12" Rockford Fosgate T1 woofers and rings it takes up a good part of that... Now my question is that can I design a port out of who knows what so far? That will be about 4" wide at the top and bottom and be closer to 1 or 2" at the center between the 2 woofers... I'd like to post a pic to show what I mean but hopefully I described it well enough... Has this been down before the internal cubic feet of the box is now 4.6599 before all other displacement of woofers, port, and plexi. I am thinking of making it out of 1/2" plexi cause I know someone with a bender and I think clear ports look nice. I'll have awhile to polish it and get it to look nice. What else do you think I could do for options? I think i'll loose alot of port area if I go with 1/2" plexi. but there again I don't know how much port area I need with that box? maybe someone can PM me with a lil help in that area if they want? THANK YOU VERY MUCH SO FAR FOR ALL OF YOUR REPLYS!!!

I don't think that it would sound too good, but I would make a quick cheap one just to see what it sounds like first before making a decision.

as long as the surface area is correct and the air can move freely with out restriction, you shouls be fine.....another option is to do 2 round 4" ports and make a plexi piece that is cosmetic.

Ok, thanks for the advice so far... Now if I do decide to go with lets say maybe 2 3" or 4" ports what if the front side of the box is angled slightly? will you just take the dimensions off that and dividel the top by the bottom to get the correct port length... I know it'll be about a matter if maybe a 1/4" to a 1/2" but I just wanna make it as close to accurate as possible
