Those ports are very close to the box wall..

Luke prolly knows what he's doing dawg.

[Killacortes]

No, simply no space to do it better.

In an ideal world, you get to have the ports on the same face as the woofer and no closer that 1 port diameter away from. any wall.

This is car audio, compromises must be made. Still roughly twice the port area of a "normal" design, still built better, still fits the car, all that jazz you guys expect from me.

I'm sure it's gonna sound great, can't wait

[cbouchez]

Is that for you?^^^

[cale]

It is! And by the looks of things it's going to be a great fit, can't wait to hear it. Putting a hertz es250 in it.

[ColdAccord]

but cargo room is the best part about a touring!

[cale]

Good sound > space

[Stephen]

modular! take it out

[dinanm3atl]

Looks real nice!

Damn clean work, I was struggling to find something that wouldn't be completely out of place in a touring so a custom box was the only option. So glad I went with a Luke box, you're gonna have a monopoly on tourings now!
