2235 likes 5 cu ft and 2 ports at 4" ID and 11" in length for an ideal 30Hz-28Hz tuning. Do what you must to work your way into this- those 35's will sound like completely different when you give them this tuning. Believe me- I tried several different ways and got tired of the "one note" BS. 2235's at 30Hz makes them open up and become more...well...muscial. I used old L200 cabs for test beds and I simply added enough internal bracing to offset the volume to equal 5 cu '. I popped in a couple of ports from parts express (flared 4"ID cut to 11" long) and presto- instant focused bass.
