Advice on this stereo install - 22SSV

Hey guys I have been researching off and on for past 2 years, Lately until my eyes get bloodshot. To start my idea is to build a set of tower mounts for the rev8’s and run each bridged on 3&4 and 5&6 on the G6600 amp.

Current equipment installed:
JL G660 ch1@2 pushing 4 in-boat alpines, ch 3&4 pushing 4 kicker 6.5” dual pods on the tower
Crossfire 1000D pushing 2 old school alpine type R 12” @1ohm

Things sitting in my Closet:
Rev8’s(used set purchased last fall for my bday present from the wife)
2 12W3V3 (initial plan)
1 300/2 Slash amp (part of initial plan)
1 12W6V2 (2nd plan because)

The sub setup is taxing my electrical system for relaxing at the house boat and would serve my car better. I wanted to lighten the electrical draw by removing the passenger compartment sub and building a ported box for 1 12W3V3 and push it with the 300/2. I have been having reservations about the w3 not being loud enough and picked up a 12W6V2 tonight for a screaming good deal.

I have several questions, the biggest being is building a ported box. I have built more sealed boxes than I cam remember, not a professional but can hold my own with the simple calculations and build quality. I have researched a couple programs for designing ported boxes and watched countless videos on it. I am running into space limitations under the helm. I’m looking for guidance on driver and port firing relation/direction, and ideal tuning HZ.(listen to everything) Also opinions on external round ports due irregular dimensions where the box is going. What is a rule of thumb for reducing vent noise or chuffing with the areo ports.

Ultimately I would love to run a 500/1 slash amp but will use the crossfire @2ohms until I can find a good deal on a slash. I’m sure everyone is thinking what a hodgepodge setup but with the wife in grad school I'm trying to get the best at a realistic price point. Sorry for the long winded post, I wanted to paint everyone the best picture, let me know if you need more information and thanks in advance!
