Hey guys this is my first post on this site. Read a couple threads and this site is very helpful.

To my situation.

Building a fiberglass box for one 15" kicker L7. Two ports..one on each side of the subwoofer, I just don't know which way to face them yet. This idea is purely on the look I want to go for, but don't want it to interfere with peformance. If yall see anything wrong with this let me know.

Some quick sketches. Second picture..black=box,light gray=magnet,dark gray=subwoofer,yellow=port.

looks good to me. possibly make them point straight back instead of angled, but i doubt it will make much difference, especially if you are going for looks. looks like it will look pretty sick too i might add

what kind of car is that bud that will help determine the port placement. just a heads up its super touch to do a ported fiberglass box with correct tuning since you cant do an exact calc of box cuft when building the ports

It's a celica.

I can come very close to what the cu.ft of the box is by filling it up with packing peanuts using a 1 cu.ft box.

I loosely wrapped the box without the ports to see about how much space I will have which came out between 3.5-4 cu.ft. Im aiming for 4 cu.ft so with a tight stretch of the fabric and protruding the ports out more I should be able to hit that mark and maybe a little more.

I just need to get the ports situated so I can have a better idea of my space..I just wasn't sure if it was ok to have the opening of the port right at the woofer/magnet.
