so i have not ordered my subs yet but i am going to get BL 18s. i just dont know what upgrades i am going to get of if i am going to just get stock ones.

every one says that the box will need to be 12 cuft or bigger. i have room to make it much bigger. what do u think the best size will be? tuning to 37 hz looking for lots of spl... if that even matters

I would do 12cuft tuned to 37 (if you want more SPL) with ~120sqin of port. Slot ported box witht he subs up port back. All of these numbers after displacement.

No no no no...

You will have to do the math to get port lenght/tuning. The 120sqin of port is the area of the "face" of the port like... 5"wide by 24" tall.

With 2 18s you will want to have alot of port area. My box for the havocs was ~15cuft before displacement with the port area being 127.5sqin (3"x42.5") tuned to 27hz. After all the sub/port displacement it dropped it to less than 12cuft. When using a big port you lose internal space fast.

so i am wanting to make the biggest opening for the port that i can?

that makes sense i guess.
it will prolly be more like 18 cuft but close to 12 after braces subs and port displacment
