I've been running numbers on the box design Im trying to do, and still having trouble: The specs for one sub is 2.25 ft cubed so the total will be 6.75 ft cubed. So I was thinking of a box that will be "about" H=15, W=48, L= 21. Just something i punched in, that total is 7.08 ft cubed. That is for a sealed box, but I'd to port this box. I just dont know how to do a port(s) for 3 subs. Should I seperate the subs into chambers and do an individual port for each chamber? Or Just do one long port for all 3? Any help with this would be great! thanks for reading.

EDIT: The specs for the subs are for a ported, not sealed.

do all three in seperate chambers, then that will may the box smaller, but aim for about 2.0 per chamber then port.

BIG 3 Question

Okay, so I'm doing the big 3 this weekend and I want to clear up a few things real quick. Here is a pic to make this a little easier
Blue: from alt
Yellow: to fuse box
Red: from + battery
Do I need to replace all these wires? That will be alt to positive, I know where the negative ground is at. And where is the chasis to engine wire at? If anyone could help me out thanks!

you dont have to replace them, i just added onto it with 4gauge wiring.

chassis to engine block , which is the last one you listed, you should follow your existing positive wiring, one will lead somewhere under the alternator. wherever that leads, thats where you should run a wire to the chassis.

for the +from the battery to the alternator, youll need a inline fuse. the factory comes with a fusible link, so youll have to put one in also with the new wire
