I got 4 12" Cuspid USA subs That I already know are crappy no need to tell me That I want to build a slot ported box for. I have no parameters on these subs like xmax, qts and such so any help would be great the space i have is 20X30X38 Thanks for any help. I wouldnt mind making 2 boxes wit 2 12's each so i could sell them to buy some good stuff

I cant believe im helping design a box for these subs but you have 11 cubic feet gross by your dimensions and I cant find specs for these subs anywhere but id say give them 2 cubic feet each net (after sub and port displacement) tuned to 36 hz with 50 square inches of port (25 square inches per box)....they probably werent designed to play real low but it should work

you could build the box and try them and if they dont sound right use the box you made for another brand of subs that work in that space
