Are you trying to fit two DC Level 6 18" woofers in a 6th order into a Neon trunk? Did I read that right? You may want to reconsider. Ported for SPL use only may be possible, Terry Brocks runs a pair of DC 18s for SPL in his trunk (although I'd imagine his trunk is larger the one on a Neon) but 6th order boxes are typically very large...

on win isd i can get a 6th order tuned to 25 and 60 under 9 cu ft and the neon trunk is a 13 cu ft trunk and on their program it says it will do 149 db

You will never be able to use all 13.1 cubic feet of that Neon trunk for your box. Unless your entire box will be made from fiberglass to take up every single tiny inch of room and follow every bend and curve.

That box - 4 cube and 5 cube chamber - you will also displace approx 1 cube for the four drivers, and 2.6 cubes for the two ports you picked. Thats already 12.6 cubes. And that's if the material the outer shell you made the box from has no thickness. Realistically you'd use at least .75" MDF, hopefully double or triple baffle it and add some good bracing. At minimum that's another 2.5 cube difference. So you're looking at over 15 cubes now.

You sir are doing way too big a build without enough experience here. I suggest you start with something smaller.

You have at most, room for a pair of 12s.

there is 100% no way to fit an enclosure for 18s in a neon trunk. IF you still think you can, go ahead and waste your money. Not gonna stop you.
