Silver Member Username: Goodie_goopMidland, Texas U.S. Post Number: 527 Registered: Oct-06 | i gotta a roughly 1^3ft seald box after displacement and i wanna put some pvc pipe to use kinda like aero's to port it since the sub is not worth building another box for...its a 10" and what size piping and how many should i use to get like 32-35 ish tuning? |
