alright i have two 12 inch 1500 watt audiobahn subs, they say they need a 2.4 cubic foot box per sub and it needs to have a port tube @ 4 x 7.25... where would be the best place for the port? on the top of the box or on the front with the subs? i want the box to hit as hard as it could...

so put each hole on the same side where the subs are mounted? like right next to them right or close enough? ------------- pioneer head unit, dual 6.5 door speakers, rear pioneer 6x9s, 2 aw1208t audiobahn subs 1500 watts RMS each, one virtual reality 400 watt amp, and one 3000 watt Boss mono channel class D amp

Separate the port tube from both the driver and the sides of the box by a least the diameter of the port tube (4").

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
