It's been a long time. It was way too easy to get caught up trying to make things louder. Considering the vehicle, I would seriously say do the WO. It is much faster and more "real" sounding than any other BP enclosure I have used and I feel certain that you will be able to play with it's placement to get the tone and punch you are looking for. The mods would be relative and I think it would perform very well for you. If you are looking for more SQ than even the WO, I would consider a compression design. I built a very cool and easy design a long time ago that was very solid, but unfortunately it was not very nice to my woofers. The sound was as good as anything I have built, but my woofers disentigrated after a few months of pounding on them. If you like, I can find the measurements on that thing for you too just to kick around. [/quote]

compression!??, now your talkin bout the death box right?

looks interesting  ???

In all reality, there was no engineering in that enclosure. It was just an idea that we acted on and afterwards were surprised with the reusults. If anybody would like to model it and see what the numbers look like it was pretty simple.
The enclosure for 12s was 14 inches wide x 12 inches tall and 32 inches long. The opening is 2" and the sides are symmetrical. (The board is 2" from the bottom at the opposite end from the opening. Simple, quick and surprisingly good sounding. Scrap wood and scrap woofers turned into loading 18 10" woofers in a crx lol.
6 boxes stacked with 3 10" in each lol.

It worked pretty awesome with a single 10' high excursion driver. I don't remember the dimensions off hand.
I will sit down monday and draw it up for you. I think I can remember how this one worked lol. I won't promise that the woofer will stay together under extreme power though. We did have some explosions with this thing, LOL.

I don't think it would be an issue with only one driver. The biggest problems we had were when we went to three drivers. My belief is that the subs were fighting each other to compress the air in front and behind at different rates because of the taper. It sounded great and produced massive SPL for a small enclosure, but the woofer that always blew was the one at the back of the enclosure.
The cone actually disentigrated in a few of these.
