I don't know if it is much help but the Kicker website has some really good blueprints for building a slot ported box. I know the demensions aren't the same since your specs are different, but the building instructions are clear and concise.

i gots a question...
would there be any loss from firing the port straight up?, ie, if i posiitioned the box to where the port is firing straight into my rear deck and push the air directly into the cabin?
just for effect. i could put some cloth where the speakers used to be :P

You would want to make sure that the air flow was unobstructed, otherwise it will deminish the effect of porting the box. I don't know the exact way to word it so I'll let Kiki or another knowledgeable person explain it. :) I guess if the air can move freely into the cabin there might not be a problem.
The diagrams on the Kicker website also say not to obstruct the port so that the air moves freely.

*cough* thread jacker *cough* 
j/k with ya, I got what I needed from here
Thanks again to all who answered--especially Justin from Detroit for the specs on a round port.
One last question, just one port, or should I use 2? Maybe like 36...(<--dripping with sarcasm)

More ports = longer ports. Stick with one.
