Im building my first box on my own and its for a friend, its 2 Kicker comps
8 ohms each.

I want to make a 2x12 vented box.
he's putting it in a 96 maxima so its not a whole lot of space, i'll measure it today to be exact.

I tried using winISD but i dont really get it? can anyone help me design it? tips please. thanks a lot.

Do you plan on playing music with this enclosure? If you do then I don't recommend having an SPL box.

If you want a box that's loud but still decent when playing music you should run a box tuned to 40hz. That's a good starting point.

can anyone help me decipher what this means?

1.75 ft3 (49.6L) + port displacement
2 x 12.5" (5.1x31.8cm) port, 16" (40.6cm) long

the 2x12.5" port 16" long.

i dont get that. does it mean there has to be 2 ports?

1.75ft^3+port displacement is the volume of the box minus the amount of space the port takes up

the 2x12.5 16 long is the size of the port. 2"widex12.5"tall 16" deep

not two ports. That port seems thin to me. You might get port noise.

yeah, those were the specs given in the instruction manual for the sub.

for the volume and port size do I multiply all by 2 since its a 2x12 box?
