you could even go a bit smaller than that if you wanted..but with those dimensions, after sub displacement you should have a nice, low hitting box

the volume is after displacement

i would go with a bigger port. but that could be just me. my port is 39 sq inches and im at 2.5 cu ft at 34 hz, and i still get a little port noise. so i would go bigger around 40 or so.

fast reply im actually thinking abot augmenting the overall desin to use a roun port couingout the top so i can I have the port fireing through my rear deck, there used to be factory 8" woofer there and it would be perfect.

i wouldnt do the port firing into the cabin with the sub firing toward to the trunk. i heard it is not a good idea. unless you go bandpass or face the sub towards the cabin and seal the trunk off.

but im not a pro. and you can try whatever you want.
