what type of vehicle? tuning depends a lot on what your car likes.. you could start with something like 42-45hz peaking around 50-53hz

.. do you even have room to port 2 12s?

but anyways.. given the vehicle i'd prolly tune around 51hz so you can peak around 61hz..

i'd imagine your car will like a faily high note but give it has quite a bit of cabin volume still you might end up better with a little lower note

i do have enough room because the back seats fold down and it will be on the back seat...so u think maybe around 51...?? and the way i place the box in there wouldnt it be best to do sub up and port forward or back???

be honest ive never seen a firebird/camaro that year run like that so idk which would be best for you.. SPL is really trial and error

you could try subs up port back tuned to 48hz for a start.. either way itll be louder than sealed and you could always turn the box and fire the ports elseway to see which was louder
