Box for DC level 12

I have a dc level 4 12 currently in a 1.5 cubic ft box tuned to 33Hz. Ive been looking at some pics and decided to redo my box and have the ports outside. This box will be 2 cubic ft tuned to 35Hz with 2 4" ports that are 26" long.
Heres some pics of old box

I got it almost finished. All i have to do is sand the puddy of some of the holes. After i put it in the truck and i like it, im gona put some carpet on so all the screws will be hid. Tell me what you think/
