I personally would redesign the box differently. I would be glad to help just give me the external max dimensions. I would say lay some deadner today.

I vote 4!! GL man!! Seems like a nice build, just need to get it perfected. Why not but some bracing on the backside on the baffles? Might help with the flex. But either way man GL with it all!!

Here are some pics of one of my first builds from the late 90's.... I was able to hit 148.6 off of 1000 rms from the Phoenix Gold M100's......

Damn that amp looks OLD!

those amps were made in 1992. Dinosaurs of the audio world...There were 3 M100's and an M25. 2 M100's for the subs and one for the door speakers, and the M25 for the rear fill.....

You can easily break a 140 with two of them, you might need more than 1K but you will be close, it's all in the enclosure. Port area is your friend ;)

alright, well thats my goal at the moment is a 145 with 2 10's but trying to stay under 1000 watts. :).

the design im drawing up at the moment has 18sq ins of port per cube. should that be good??

That's going to be difficult with a daily driver ie. no modifications on the car itself.

that why i set it as my goal, i dont want something easy to achieve. adn what kind of modifications are you talking?

and only doing two give me room to change tings more easily.
