I have a 94 ford explorer, and im purchasing four 12 Soundstream Davinci's that are rated as follows:
FREQ RESPONSE:25Hz-1.4Hz
Voice Coil:3
X-max:13mm
Power RMS:1000watts

What i want do is build a box, i think i have picked out a design, but i wanted to know what you all thought of it, if it was going to be big enough to push my subs heres the link:

i would of course port my box cause the specs call for it.

Thanx for looking

Where exactly are the "specs" that you're talking about? What internal volume do they call for? Cuz that particular box on that link has a volume of 1.4 cu. ft. per sub. Also that box is a sealed box, and turning it into a ported box is not as simple as just cutting a hole and sticking a port in there. It's gonna be a lot more complicated than that.

ok here are all the specs the soundstream gives me:
RMS POWER(WATTS):1000
MAGNET WEIGHT:320
Freq. Response(Hz):25-1.4K
Fs(hz):33.5
Qes:0.471
Qts:0.3835
Vas:0.983
Xmax:.51
SPL:87
Hole Size: 11.25
Woofer Depth:8.0
Recommended Enclosure:.75
Recommended Enclosure Type:Vented
Aeroport Dimensions:3x12(1)

I hope these specs do much better, and im going to do some modifications to the box, im going to make it take up almost the whole cargo area, and i was going to port the box to specs. at the bottoms right hand corner of each chamber.

is this a bad idea, got any other suggestions?
