I have an RE SL12 that has been sitting in my garage that I found a use for but there's no paperwork inside the box. I've made the mold for it and spreading it across under the entire rear bench seat I shouldn't have a problem getting 1.25-1.5 cu ft but how do I tune it to 35 hz like they recommend? I'm sure there was paperwork in the box at some point but who knows what I did with it and now I'm lost.

Use the port length calculator in the links on the left column. Enter your enclosure volume, the size port you want to use and desired tuning frequency.

wow, I feel like an idiot. It's really that simple? haha. I'm so sorry, I'm so used to just building the box how the manuals say without really understanding how they got those numbers. Thanks for not making me feel like a total moron even though I obviously am !

You're not a moron. When you have questions, ask! I'm glad the answer was easy. :)
